Saturday, April 3 // Official 'Opening Day' of Cobblestone’s Outdoor Market Season
This Saturday marks the official 'opening day' of Cobblestone’s Outdoor Market season, even though we have already been outside for two weeks with a new set-up adapted for the world we live in now.
What is NEW? OPTIONS! Each option is designed to make shopping Market safe and easy. Please read on for DETAILS and please send any questions to our email or Facebook Page to ensure you don’t miss a market beat!
NEW! Curbside Drive-Thru Pick-Up 8:30-10:30am
Prefer not to get out of your car to circulate Market for your shopping? Check the Vendor Line Up below to see what product is available and how to order with individual vendors. Vendors will package your orders with your name on them so you can pick them up at the new “drive-thru” onsite. PLEASE NOTE: To utilize this service, you MUST PRE-ORDER & PREPAY and let the vendor know when you order that you want “CURBSIDE PICK-UP”. This option is also available at our NEW! Cobblestone Curbside Wednesday Market which is Pre-Order, Prepay, Pick-Up ONLY from 4-6p.
DRIVE-THRU ENTRANCE: Enter from Marshall Street just past Walnut (right turn only). EXIT on Poplar (right turn only). Please look for SIGNAGE and COBBLESTONE SIGNS for easy access.
ENCOURAGED! Pre-Order, Prepay, Pick-Up
If you prefer to get a little fresh air while you shop Market, please consider pre-ordering and prepaying as much as possible. This will keep lines moving faster and reduce the amount of contact that is needed for each transaction. Pre-orders will be pre-packaged with your name for easy pick-up at individual vendor booths.
BROWSE & BUY Onsite
On Saturdays, Cobblestone vendors will be set-up with tents and some product that can be purchased onsite; however, things will look a little different than you’re used to. Some vendors will have product on display for you to easily see, others will have everything pre-packaged. Vendors will have product signage/pricing available for you to read while in line so you can think through what you want in advance and help with faster transactions.
ONLY Vendors may handle the product. Please point out what you’d like to see or purchase and they will pick it up and package it for you. Vendors tents will have an extra table between them/product and customer for added safety.
Please read below to get familiar with our new Market protocols implemented over the past few weeks. We continuously work to provide a Market space that is safe for everyone to access THE MOST fresh, healthy food! Thank YOU for showing up to support local food businesses!
All market activity for now will happen at 1001 S Marshall Street.
Please stay up-to-date via Facebook or Instagram.
Find individual vendor Pre-Order info below and on our website.
Cobblestone LOCAL is independent Piedmont food/farm businesses in one place.
