Local Grocery Retailer Identifies Need for Store in Downtown Columbus
Announcements — By Walker Evans on October 21, 2011 at 6:00 am
Retail can be a tough business. Retail in an urban area like Downtown Columbus can be even tougher. The Hills Market announced today that they’re planning on opening a brand new grocery store in Downtown Columbus next spring, which leaves us asking the question… are they a little bit crazy, or are they ahead of the curve and on to something big?

As we will soon have Hills Markets on the now-northern-terminus of the Olentangy Greenway in Worthington and new southern extension downtown I propose the annual Hills Market-to-Market Bike Ride, wherein cyclists ride either "down" to the Hills Market for whatever they forgot whilst shopping "Up" at the Hills Market, or vice-versa. This, of course, would be most convenient for those living in Clintonville.

Some very exciting news for Downtown Columbus. No doubt a huge win for nearby residents and retailers. The future is limitless for this neighborhood. Neighborhood Launch is already one of the most beautiful neighborhoods I've seen in this city.

From the bottom of this article:
The market also could benefit from another residential and mixed-use development planned four blocks to the northwest of the Neighborhood Launch project.Developer George Berardi is applying to the Downtown Commission to build a five-story, 120,000-square-foot building at Spring and Neilston streets that would have 102 apartments on the upper floors and four retail spaces at ground level.
The $11.5 million Discovery District Commons also would include 71 underground parking spaces.
The site has a surface parking lot and two smaller buildings.
What an exciting news day for downtown =D

I think the new Turkey Hill is doing a damn fine job as a market for Near East-siders. I'd think a downtown one would be a hit.
I've not been inside it yet. Does it offer anything special outside of the usual convenience store selection?
Downtown already has several convenience stores without the gas stations attached, and they seem to do ok.

Yes they recently expanded it and have basically a mini grocery store inside complete with 1/4 size aisles, plenty of fresh produce, fresh meat, etc. Then on top of that they have some good take-out food options from the cafe, chicken, mac and cheese, etc.
My younger brother in law and his friends live on Franklin Park and they basically live there and do all their grocery shopping there.

Oh, nice. Will have to stop in sometime soon then to check it out. It's probably about the same distance for us to go to the Brewery District Kroger, but we're occasionally driving by it, so good to know there's more in there than chips and beer. ;)
