Downtown Atlanta finally has a grocery store, thanks to the opening of Azalea Fresh Market at 25 Peachtree Street in Five Points.
Located in the historic Olympia Building (previously the home of Walgreens), a grand opening event was held on Aug. 28, but equipment issues delayed the opening until today, Sept. 8
Azalea Fresh Market is the result of a collaborative effort between the City of Atlanta, Invest Atlanta, local organizations, Savi Provisions, Independent Grocers Alliance, and community members who identified a pressing need to eliminate a Downtown food desert. The store was designed by a team of 60 SCAD Atlanta students.
Along with staple grocery items, there are locally sourced meats and seafood, baked goods, beer and wine, fresh fruit and vegetables in partnership with Georgia Grown, fresh sushi from High Roller Sushi, and Dope Coffee.
