Our Story

In 2011, the Frey and Jobe family purchased the old First National Bank building not knowing at the time what it would become. They knew the building had a rich history that one day would need to be restored. Fast forward to early 2016, when a dream was sparked in their hearts to create something downtown Harrison was lacking: an upscale establishment that could be used to foster community. Without any previous experience in the bar/restaurant industry, they began to research the ins and outs of the process. In December of 2016, they were blessed by the community with a gift of money that paid for the first set of blueprints.

Just like any other good thing, it took time for Heist + Co to become a reality. Many days, months, and years went by to plan, develop, learn, grow, and stretch in areas with which we were not familiar. Since 2016, the vision has evolved into something they could never have imagined. They have worked tirelessly to keep a spirit of excellence in everything that encompasses Heist + Co. From the building’s design elements to the food that has been thoughtfully curated on each plate served, Heist + Co. was created to give guests an experience they could not get anywhere else.

In 2019, they coined Heist + Co. as “a social exchange.” Heist + Co. was not birthed to just become “another bar,” but to be something much more than that. When they opened the doors the owners wanted their social exchange to be a relaxed gathering place that offered an atmosphere that fosters connection, conversation, and community while also being a space that encourages laughter and kindness while welcoming all guests as they are – no more, no less.
