    Now slated for an October 2020 soft opening, Bubbles The Tea and Juice Company, Kintsugi Sushi Bar, The Little Kitchen and Pasta Ditoni’s will join a lineup of seven previously announced vendors. The Market is expected to be at full occupancy by the end of the year, with additional tenant announcements in the coming weeks.

    Bubbles The Tea and Juice Company

    A familiar name for North Market-goers Downtown, Bubbles The Tea and Juice Company will also set up shop at Bridge Park. Serving up a menu of specialty-made smoothies, crafted bubble teas, fresh cold pressed juices, açaí bowls, and protein bars, it’s the ninth Central Ohio location for Bubbles.

    “The North Market is our original home store. It has grown with the Market since inception and served as a template for our other locations,” says COO Joseph Ebner. “We can’t wait to do the same with the new North Market, continuing to build on strong relationships with new and recurring tenants alike as well as the market staff. With a great fun atmosphere like the original North Market, we are excited to begin the journey with everyone at the new market this fall and bring Bubbles to an awesome new venue!”

    “We are very excited to have this opportunity at North Market Bridge Park,” says Founder & Head Chef Seigo Nishimura. “Satori Ramen Bar has been such a wonderful and humbling experience.

Pasta Ditoni’s has also collaborated with Giuseppe Mangano from Giuseppe’s Ritrovo on some sauces and new recipes for the venture.

    “Pasta Ditoni’s is extremely excited to be a part of North Market Bridge Park,” says Owner Goga Bhattal. “Columbus residents have been dining with our product for almost 30 years, and now they are able to bring that same restaurant quality meal to their homes. Our fresh pasta and specialty Italian deserts will allow locals to become the best dinner hosts in town, and enable them to create wholesome meals in minutes!”
