A mobile grocery store is being added to the lineup of food trucks at The Court Urban Food Park starting Wednesday.
Saturiwa Trading Company will be selling “affordable and healthy foods for Downtown employees,” according to a news release from The Court Urban Food Park.
The mobile grocery store is part of The Court Urban Food Park’s new Midweek Market, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesdays.
“Downtown has needed a specialty grocery store for some time,” said Jack Shad, founder of The Court Urban Food Park. “An innovative business like Saturiwa Trading Company finally can provide such a service for our Downtown neighborhood. Pretty much everything you can get from a Whole Foods or a Fresh Market will now be available every week within walking distance of Downtown’s major employers.”
Items available from vendors at the Midweek Market include seasonal fruits and vegetables, rice, grains, nuts, dried fruits, tempeh, seafood, milk, breads, baked goods, artisanal cheese, handmade popsicles, spices, honey, locally raised grass-fed beef, pork, rabbit, bison, alligator, quail and pheasant.
“With today’s busy lifestyles, many families will not get home from work and picking up their children until late,” said Mike Stowers of Saturiwa Trading Company. “Our mobile grocery store offers an easy way to shop for affordable and healthy foods while on your lunch break.”
The Court Urban Food Park is along Hogan Street between Bay Street and Independent Drive, adjacent to the Suntrust Tower parking garage.
