Austin Central Market (North)

Is there an insider here who can tell us about the on-going work at CM?

Is the place going to change size or just move around?

Are they going to have to shut down completely at any point?

When will the horror end?

I'm no insider, just a contented customer. It will be several months, they are adding space from the shops to the north of the store [previously Origins and an empty space], will be moving the cheese to near the wine so they can have a wine and cheese bar, will be putting in a coffee and tea bar, with more estate teas for purchase, and I'm not sure what else.

Hard to believe it's been 10 years since it opened....

The produce dept is moving and expanding. The health area is also expanding. The cooking school is getting a big dishwasher (yeah). The cooking school is closed in august for the renovation. Can't wait to be able to take classes again in september.

I guess what I'm most curious about is whether there will be a complete closure at any point.

Heaven forbid. No, we are going to stay open throughout the entire renovation. It's supposed to be done by Thanksgiving.
