A multipurpose, upscale market is to go into the ground floor at the historic Clemons Building when it opens to offer more downtown Chattanooga housing.
Also, The Clemons at 730 Chestnut St. will host an open house Saturday where the public can get a firsthand look at the new model lofts. The open house will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Street Corner Market at the Clemons will provide an option for supermarket shopping, according to the owners.
The store, scheduled to open in March, is about 2,200 square feet and will occupy a large portion of the ground level. It will feature fresh produce, Boar’s Head meats and cheeses, local coffees, and a rotating selection of craft beers and artisan snacks. Residents at The Clemons will be able to purchase essentials at a self service station, which will be accessible 24 hours a day.
Also, Epic Optical optometry offices and eyeglasses boutique will occupy space on the ground floor. About 2,000 square feet retail space is still available to be leased.
