Indoor market at Gasoline Alley could open by October
A 25,000-square-foot indoor farmers’ market in Gasoline Alley could open as soon as October if all the pieces fall into place.
On Saturday, around 150 people turned out to an open house to hear from some of the project’s eleven investors.
The indoor market will be located in a new building set to be constructed on Laura Avenue, across the street from Trail Appliances and Cam Clark Ford. The plan is to be open every Saturday and Sunday year-round, and feature at least 48 vendors, as well as six kitchens, a food court, and mezzanine area for social events.
“For ourselves, we went from doing seasonal markets to doing a year-round market in Calgary, and it was a tremendous boost for our farm,” said Shelley Bradshaw, one of the project’s investors with the Innisfail Growers Group.
