A full service grocery store now joins the growing list of places to eat or buy food downtown. The Syracuse Cooperative Market cut the ribbon to mark its official opening in the Salt City Market building on the southern end of downtown. Coop Manager Jeremy DeChario thinks the market will serve a particular niche, even among the many eateries and places to drink downtown.
“Up to this point it wasn’t a true walkable community because there wasn t a grocery store that had fresh foods,” DeChario said. “What we are really looking to do is really be a nexus for community the same way that the store on Kensington has been a nexus for community in the Westcott neighborhood for all these years.”
