The Fairmont Market, at 11th and Fairmont, also has signs up for Goose Island beers, but I haven't noticed too much new in the way of fancier food.
This comes about a year after the 13th Street Market at 13th and Otis got a complete makeover with new floors, nice shelves, lots of wine and even a coffee shop. Nothing that drastic for Sonya's or Fairmont, but you never know -- as the market builds for higher quality stuff, we may see fewer male virility pills and more organic granola bars in the windows. Maybe even less bulletproof glass.
Minor edit: Sonya's is at 11 & Harvard.
ReplyDeleteThanks, fixed
ReplyDeleteSonya's Market is the reason my house has such a good walk score (Grocery store <.1 mile away), but I've never been there. Time to check it out.
ReplyDeleteCool. I wouldn't say it's nice, but they are definitely improving.
ReplyDeleteCorner store on Georgia and Gresham just got a minor remodel. It's still not great, but it's a lot better than it was before.
ReplyDeleteSonya's is a great addition to this part of the neighborhood, albeit overpriced and still lacking some essentials. I noticed that feature on walk score as well. Surprising to see they counted it as a full-on grocery store.
ReplyDeleteStop-and-go Market on Sherman and Columbia has a LONG way to go. It's had some improvements as of late. Although, I recently saw expired Pop-Tarts on it's shelf for example; how Pop-Tarts sit there long enough to expire is beyond me...
