Fresh Table owners opening urban grocery store at Market Square development


Meredith Trombly and Louis Snowden, owners of Findlay Market’s Fresh Table, plan to open an urban grocery store this fall at 1818 Race St. across from their spot at the market.

The Epicurean Mercantile Company grocery store will feature a 5,700-square-foot space with fresh foods, nonperishable items, libations, personal hygiene items and a variety of seasonal gifts. There will also be a lunch counter with freshly prepared foods made by Chef Dan Jansen.
 
Fresh Market is an organic stand at Findlay Market that features ready-to-eat meals, including salads and entrees. The lunch counter at Epicurean Mercantile will reflect Fresh Market’s offerings, focusing on what’s fresh and what’s available.
 
Epicurean Mercantile will be part of Model Group’s $24 million Market Square project, which is redeveloping the entire 1800 block of Race adjacent to Findlay Market. The project has received several rounds of state historic tax credits and includes both residential and commercial space.
