It's much more than a name change: The Market at Fairhaven (formerly Southside Food Pavilion) is like a new store, adding over 23,000 new items, special products and departments, with a superior selection of food. It's a major renovation resulting in a prime destination for people who enjoy preparing and eating great food.
The Market believes "made here is better." The store offers the best in quality beef, gluten-free products and made-fresh soups. It features several signature product lines, including the popular DaVinci Classic subs, a Wing Bar with chicken sauced to your liking, Boars Head meats and cheeses (with no fillers, artificial colors or transfats), over 640 gluten-free items (the largest selection in the area), Certified Angus and restaurant quality prime beef, a full-service meat and seafood case, made-from-scratch Deli entrees, salads and more. Under its own Taste of Italy and Taste of Asia banners, the store has creatively grouped hundreds of items for these cuisines, including many unique to this area. It's a store for people who love great food.
The store's own chef will be daily demonstrating how to prepare simple, vibrant dishes. A wine specialist provides not only inspired recommendations, but also competitive pricing on an impressive selection of wines.
Mornings at The Market are better, because breakfast is being served from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. daily. Made to order choices include pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and a hearty egg scrambler dish, each for $1.99
Seniors (55 and older) receive a 5% discount Monday through Thursdays, from 7 to 10 a.m.
The store has been recognized by the Washington State Department of Agriculture as a certified organic handler of produce, one of the few in the area. Building on its commitment to sustainability, The Market encourages customers to bring their own grocery bags, wtih a rebate going to ReSources, the community's environmental organization. It sells its own organic cotton, Fair Trade reusable shopping bags and wine carriers.
Customers visiting The Market will be pleased to note that free WiFi and comfortable seating adjacent to the Deli are still available, along with terrific values on everyday grocery items, too. The addition of self-service, along with full-service checkout counters, maximizes the convenience factor for busy customers.
The Market hosted a grand opening, with food samples and special sales, beginning December 16. If you love great food, you'll want to visit the new Market, just off Interstate 5 at Old Fairhaven Parkway.
