Market 42 officially opens in Brunswick with more than 20 vendors

BRUNSWICK — Market 42 officially opened to the public on Friday with more than 20 vendors offering a variety of retail goods and food from different cultures. Nick Kyriazis is the owner and developer of Market 42. He said Greece, his country of origin, inspired the market. "In Greece, you can go out and find different shops and different restaurants within the same street," he said. "You have multiple choices to walk from one to the other. We're in Ohio, so because of the weather, that had to be inside." Guests can walk around and visit the following vendors inside Market 42: Atticus Bread Company Coffeeshop Goldberry Roasting Company Custom glassware and accessories at Blastmaster Fortune's Cookies Fruit bowls at the Fruit Stand Graze Gourmet Deli Handmade Haven Hibachi Run Home goods and jewelry at Uniquely Ashley Designs Ice cream at Waylon's Handcrafted Indian fusion at Khaao Macha Biryanis & Bowls Italian pasta bowls at Pasta Fresca La Crepe Bakery & Cafe Latin cuisine at Tropical Bay Locally sourced produce at Taste of Summer Mallory's Pizza McGinty's Pub Mexican street food at Wholly Frijoles Planting bar and plant-themed gift shop at Gift Mill Run Permanent jewelry and accessories at Moody Dreams Ramen and boba tea at Momohana Sandwiches and burgers at Local West "Most of the tenants have multiple locations," Kyriazis said. "It's all local. They all use locally sourced produce and local farming products, so it's all fresh." There are also 18 townhomes in the back of the property, which are part of the project, he said. "There's connectivity between this market and the housing at the back," Kyriazis said. "There's a bridge, and you go over the wetlands that we preserved, and you can walk to this location." The market itself is at 2099 Pearl Road and will be open daily. For more information, visit themarket42.com. Kyriazis said the reception to Market 42 has been "incredible" so far. His hope for the future is to keep the promise of providing local, fresh products and quality service. "We posted today's opening on Facebook, and we had 145,000 views, so the community is excited," he said. "They know that this is a good destination, and they're excited about it."
