🚧Don’t let the construction fool you, we’re OPEN and ready to welcome you! 🛍️✨

The construction is just a little fixer-upper magic happening behind the scenes (aka necessary structural repair work). No worries, though – most of the heavy lifting will be all wrapped up by the end of June! 🛠️🔧

Step inside for fresh finds 🥬, tasty eats 🍔, and all the market vibes you love. Your favourite vendors are here, so come on in and make a day of it! See you soon! 😊

Indulge in gourmet pizzas at Bear and Frankies, where every slice is a masterpiece! 🍕✨ From the finest ingredients to the perfect crust, these pizzas are the ultimate treat for your taste buds, from sauce to perfectly melted cheese and high-quality toppings. Each bite is the perfect balance of crispy, chewy, and oh-so-flavourful. 🍽️🔥

This Sunday for Sampling Sunday, we’re bringing you two crave-worthy treats from Kosmos! Get ready to enjoy their crispy, Dill Pickle Chips and flavour-packed Buffalo Cauliflower Bites, perfect for snack lovers!

Kosmos is known for its delicious fried chicken sandwiches and savory snacks, all made with the freshest ingredients. These two snacks are no exception, tasty, satisfying, and full of bold flavours that will leave you coming back for more. 🤩
