Just when I began to have hope that with all the development on Ocean Ave. and the new theater going into the cavernous space just a few feet away, The Market at Santa Monica Place was beginning to take off, I took this photo earlier in the week. Sadly, it appears that culinary gadget shop Cook by Venokado is gone, and organic delivery company Santa Monica Merchant has ostensibly been abandoned. Said one nearby employee, “I haven’t seen anybody in there for a long time.” (Sigh)
A few months ago, I told you about a new venture going into one of the stalls in The Market at Santa Monica Place. Santa Monica Merchant opens its doors today (Wednesday, Jan. 22nd). With a strong emphasis on home delivery of locally sourced produce, meats, and cheeses, they will also be offering retail products at their new location. Read more at: SantaMonicaMerchant.
A brand new venture, Santa Monica Merchant is coming soon to the slowly revitalizing The Market at Santa Monica Place. Although there’s not a lot of information out there yet, they appear to be a go-to for community supported agriculture and are billing themselves as a “curated source for a daily selection of organic local meats, cheeses, and produce”. Read more at their still-developing website here.
