If you sneezed while driving through downtown Piedmont you could miss it because all we have is a gas station, a couple banks and a small market. The old market was below average and finally lost its lease to make room for the new one.
Piedmont's new Mulberry's Market is so awesome and so right for Piedmont that I just had to write about it. After the old market closed and Mulberry's broke ground, the entire community waited eagerly for the opening which finally occurred last Saturday. Hundreds of people were lined up for the ribbon-cutting and Mulberry's suddenly became the hub of Piedmont.
At last, grown-ups could get an excellent cup of Peets coffee. Kids could get a milkshake or an ice cream. All the most trendy delicious foods were suddenly available only walking distance from home. And the store is beautiful. Since the opening a few weeks ago the place has been packed non-stop. It has become the social center of the community where everyone comes to meet and chat, while finding any excuse to buy something.
The owners, Chad Olcott and Laura Pochop, planned carefully and invested wisely. Their manager, David Crombie, is a keeper. And Mulberry's Market is an instant Piedmont Landmark.
Congratulations to Mulberry's and to Piedmont for a perfect addition to our community!
