“Foodie Paradise” is coming to Chestnut Hill

New look for the Chestnut Hill Farmers’ Market

Well, not exactly.

It will actually be a major overhaul of the existing Chestnut Hill Farmers’ Market.

The 7,000 square foot space is going to get a sleek, modern look and go from a system of alleyways to a more modern grid (think Reading Terminal Market).

I have always been of the opinion that Philadelphia has enough demand to support a few more RTM-esque locations throughout the city, so it looks like Chestnut Hill will be the first to go that same, successful route.

Reading Terminal Market is getting bigger and better!

As if this place was not awesome enough already, Reading Terminal Market is expanding what is known as their “Eastern End” into multifunctional space.

Here are some highlights of the project:

  • Additional retail space for more successful vendors.
  • A demonstration kitchen for classes and the like.
  • Event space for meetings, parties, etc.
  • Expanded and renovated restrooms.
  • A permanent, museum-esque display of the Market’s history.
  • Estimated completion date: April 2012.

The Reading Terminal Market is an enormous, diverse, urban market in the heart of Center City Philadelphia. From produce, poultry, and baked goods to cheesesteaks and Amish food, RTM has it all.
