This week it was revealed that a few new businesses are coming to the space once inhabited by 131 Main and Cu Copper. These new businesses are going to be a great addition to Dilworth, and a welcome spot for locals to enjoy.
131 Main was closed in April of 2016 after a third fire in six years. The location at 1315 East Boulevard at Scott Avenue has sat vacant since that time.
The People’s Market anticipates that they will open late in summer. They plan to offer an all-in-one market, deli, bakery, and cafe. The plan is to offer prepared foods, catering, coffee, and a large selection of craft beer and wine. Additionally, expect more eclectic and unique items to draw in customers.
It appears that The People’s Market wants to poise itself to be in a similar market space as Common Market mixed with a bakery like Amelie’s French Bakery & Cafe. This means they will be open from breakfast through late night and will be available for take-away as well as in store service. Live music on the patio is a distinct possibility.
Next door to The People’s Market, a new cocktail bar will take over the place of the former Cu Copper. (Not to be confused with the upscale Indian restaurant Copper.) The bar will feature upscale craft cocktails using local and regional ingredients. The Queen & Glass will also offer small plates, tapas style, to complement the drink menu.
Cory Duran is the founder of both concepts which will have a “high-end industrial feel”. Hopefully his vision will be a boon to the neighborhood and will be a great gathering place. The location is great as it is walkable for many people.
