Super cute market located on Memorial Drive that shares a building with the local Ace Hardware. I happened to be swinging by said Ace and after I figured I would pop in to see what they had going on, so I wandered around this spot for a few minutes before heading back out!
Given their location, you would assume parking would be terrible, however there is quite a bit of parking with an open lot, small garage and plenty of street parking...and if all that fails you, then pop over to the paid lot behind Six Feet Under.
When you walk in you are greeted by a quaint fresh veggie and fruit section, that also has a cooler with some premade meals such as sandwiches, pastas, salads, etc...On the other side of this section is a large shelf that showcases all the locally sourced items including jams, jellies, sauces, nuts, snacks and more. While I didn't snatch anything up on this trip, those sauces will definitely be calling me back at some point!
In addition to the above sections, this market features quite a selection of dry/non-perishable goods including specialty items of the gluten/carb/allergen free variety. You can find all things from soups, spices chips, snacks, pasta, cereals, etc...they feature big box brands, as well as other more specialized brands. They also have a small frozen section, as well as dairy cooler. The rest of the place is made up of all things to drink with an impressive selection of wine and beer...both in the coolers and on the floor.
Outside of the products themselves, they also feature a restaurant called Gather. Due to current state of things, it was not operating at the time and was being used for a prep/stocking area during my visit.
I will say that I enjoyed my time exploring the market, but was a little sad that I passed by multiple members of the team and not one acknowledged or spoke to me. It was a little odd and disappointing given the local flare of the place.
Overall, I wouldn't center my full shopping trips around this place, but I could see swinging by when in the area for something specialty, a good bottle of wine or a treat. While the lack of service left something to be desired, it wasn't enough to keep me away...so I will be back!
