Either our source on this story was having a bad day or Union Market’s expansion plans are even more ambitious than we thought. While the tip we got back in June about an impending Fort Greene location for the Park Slope gourmet grocer remains nothing more than speculation, there’s confirmation of expansion plans within the neighborhood. The sign above appeared recently at 402 Seventh Avenue between 12th and 13th Street indicating that the second branch will be opening this Fall. How psyched are South Slopers! Update: Evidently this isn’t quite as newsworthy as we thought. Both the Brooklyn Paper and the blog Five of Toast have already hit this. GMAP
Meh. I went in there yesterday to see what all the hype was about. It’s tiny aisles were packed with all the proper little Bugaboos scrambling to get their share of the overpriced “gourmet.”
What are folks’ experiences shopping at the coop?
My husband and I have resisted joining (we like the liberty of shopping at a variety of places and can’t take on any more work responsibilities than we already have), much to the confusion of some of our friends and acquaintances, who communicate incredible loyalty to the place.
there are no current plants for a union market in fort greene at this time.
Sure, you pay more than the coop, but you get to keep your dignity.
Walking people to their home/car in an orange vest? Not a friggin chance.
Douchebags.
I’d trade it all to have Liberty Meat Market back again…
Brenda from Flatbush (still trying to get one of these newfangled account thingies straightened out)
who cares? just use fresh direct. so good!
do the deals they have for their delivery pass and take advantage of every special.
$12 for a rotisserie chicken, I’ll pass.
I’m sure Billy will be standing out front being annoying as usual.
Union Market WILL be opening in Fort Greene on Fulton Street in the old Dollar Dreams location.
Very psyched.
