Dekalb Market Needs to Move

When the Dekalb Market opened last year it did so under the pretense that it would operate at its current location for at least five years.  That's not the case.  Real estate development plans moved faster than expected and construction at 138 Willoughby Street is likely to start as early as October.

The market plans to stay in the neighborhood and a post on their site has this to say:

"We can’t share any more juicy details just yet, but you can look forward to seeing our full lineup of events coming up and what you can look forward to in the fall.  We hope to receive full support from our community as we continue Dekalb Market in its new incarnation!"

A letter was sent out by the Dekalb Market Team, who sees the relocating as an opportunity, "By positioning ourselves as the first shopping center in history to move and reopen in the space of a few weeks we will be able to have a new “re-opening” with both the press and operations."

Dekalb Market will kick off its second year this weekend.  April 7th is the opening date for the revamped market that will include roller derbies, lobster boils, and Sunday dance parties this year.  Sunday will feature easter eggs and $1 mimosa's.
