Well, I'm excited. Coming to the corner of of South Boulevard and Tremont Avenue (just down the street from me!) is a brand-new fresh market. My SouthEnd neighbors, let us rejoice the market opens May 15.
The market, at 2104 South Blvd., will feature local and regional items such as fresh meat and produce, baked breads, pasta, flowers, spices, condiments, beverages and handmade goods. In addition, the facility will offer green-living educational sessions, arts and entertainment, and cooking demonstrations from local chefs.Historic South End has experienced remarkable residential growth and is becoming a vibrant urban neighborhood, says Darlene Heater, vice president of neighborhood development for Charlotte Center City Partners. We have heard from many of our new South Enders of their desire for a fresh foods produce market within walking distance of their homes.
The market will initially be open from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. It will expand its hours at a later date.
