Vendors find wings at market
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
BY BILL CHRONISTER
Jeni Britton just signed a lease for a space in the Bexley Gateway project for what will be her fourth Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams shop.
Nida and Chris Perry are close to opening their first free-standing restaurant, Nida’s Thai on High, at 976 N. High St. in the Short North.
Don Ziliak’s Due Amici, a fine-dining establishment at 67 E. Gay St. has been around since December 2004. Now he’s considering a second restaurant under a different concept in the New Albany area.
The three have one thing in common: They all got their start in the restaurant business at the North Market. The venerable marketplace at 59 Spruce St. has become something of a restaurant incubator.
“The whole concept of the public market provides a great opportunity for small-business people,” said David Wible, executive director of the operation. The market includes a mix of vendors offering everything from fresh produce, meats and seafood to a variety of prepared foods.

Very nice to see Jeni’s going like gang busters.
Yeah, this was a great article. I thought it was very well written and helps to raise awareness about a way the North Market contributes to the community through assisting the growth and development of small businesses.
And limited hours :D
Market Hours
Tuesday-Friday 9AM-7PM (though the doors open at 7AM)
Saturday 8AM-5PM (doors at 7AM)
Sunday 12-5PM (doors at 10AM)
Mondays 9-5PM
Monday 11/19 9AM-7PM for pre-Thanksgiving shopping, especially turkey-picking up from North Market Poultry and Game.
Wish it opened earlier on Sunday, like 9 or 10.
I hate waking up on Sunday with a thirst for things north market, and end up going elsewhere because they’re closed.
At 10 AM on Sunday you can probably already get Firdous and El Paraiso.
Maybe a few others. You can come in when the doors are open. I posted the “Official Market Hours” which is when everyone is required by their leases to be open. On Sundays, especially with the Greek Cathedral right next door, certain places are ready to go when the doors open.
How great would it be if they opened a SOUTH MARKET or on Front Street…the Front St. Market or Town St. Market…..something like that.
Sure would be nice to do something with Brewmaster’s Gate. The proposed cap would be a nice spot too. At least for a farmer’s market to set up at.
OMG great IDEA…..BREWMASTERS MARKET….PERFECT LOCATION!!!!!!! It has that little alley way near my beloved Lotus!!! That would be COOL!!! Plus that woody’s place is just unnecessary
Wouldn’t that be a little close to the existing North Market…you know, Front Street and all.
…or how about a Pearl Alley Farmers’ Market…oh wait… :wink:
No, I want something like PIKE ST. Market in Seattle.
Didn’t that chicago thread deal thing compare north market to pike market?
Pike St. has more flowers and that fish flinging and and I think there should be two North Markets but call the 2nd one something different.
Where would the fish to fling come from here?
Forget the salmon, we’d throw sides of beef.
