The “For Sale” sign has the word “sold” added to it at 212 Market, a pioneering “farm to table” restaurant in downtown Chattanooga that closed suddenly in April.
But “under contract,” is a better description, said Sally Moses, who inherited 212 Market restaurant along with her sister, Susan Moses, the restaurant’s longtime chef, and their brother Frank Moses, from their mother Marguerite “Maggie” Moses, who passed away in 2015.
“We have not closed [the sale],” Sally Moses said. “It’s a little premature.”
The potential buyer is a group out of Florida, she said, and the group intends to keep using the building as a restaurant.
The word SOLD has been posted on the “for sale” and “for lease” signs on the 212 Market restaurant building at that address. But the two-story building constructed in 1992 is still under contract and the sale hasn’t yet closed, said Sally Moses, one of the three siblings who own the property.“It’s been on the market since May,” Moses said.
