The cat’s out of the bag. While word of a gourmet market replacing South Portland Antiques has been out for a few weeks, details have been scarce. Until now. A reader forwarded us a job listing for an assistant manager at the new store that just popped up on Craigslist. It reveals that the owner of the spot is Greene Grape, the wine store down the street. From the ad: “The Greene Grape is opening a full service specialty foods store with butcher, fishmonger, cheese and charcuterie.” The focus will be on “local, small production and sustainably produced products.” We’re particularly psyched for the butcher and fishmonger that will be onsite. We’re hearing an opening is targeted for January 1, but expect to see an awning go up in the next few days.
