  • I wish I could give this market a 3.5...Yelp doesn't allow half-scores. They are clearly commitment folks. ? My thoughts about the 7t St. Public Market are mixed. I remember the initial public meetings at its inception. The market was presented as a solution to the food insecurity issues in Charlotte. At that time, it was championed as a place that would provide local, fresh, healthy food for populations with limited transportation and income. Much of which was contingent upon the light rail system which was also new at that time. Since that time, the market has transitioned into an incubator of sorts for new food businesses. I believe this was a part of the original idea, yet not to its current scale. Nonetheless, the concept is thriving and providing a great space for new businesses to test out their ideas and grow their businesses. While on a recent tour, the market director mentioned that 5 of the businesses that started in the space have grown to multiple locations in the Charlotte area. The market now serves as a destination of sorts for visitors and tourists. Additionally, the space is hopping during the lunch hour, as it is convenient to many Uptown offices and the beautiful First Ward Park. They provide a variety of offerings from pour over coffee @ Not Just Coffee to gourmet popcorn from It's Poppin! Kettle Korn. While I still feel that the need for fresh, local, affordable food needs to be addressed in that area, I can appreciate the concept of the 7th St Public Market. I believe similar concepts are needed in the Charlotte area for food businesses that are in earlier stages of development. Per the manager, getting a space in the market as a new business is competitive.
