Ribbon Cutting & Local Food Celebration
2024-04-11 11:00 - 13:00 | Keller Market House, 134 S Columbus St, Lancaster, OH, 43130, United States
Join us on April 11th as we celebrate the completion of our Keller Market House renovations!
For over a year now, we’ve been working on improvements to our historic building so that we can expand our grocery operations. This project has been made possible by a grant from America’s Healthy Food Financing Initiative of the USDA.
This expansion will allow the market house to offer a greater and more diverse selection of local foods, improving the shopping experience and building more connections between Ohio producers and Fairfield county shoppers.
We’re pretty excited to settle into our new spaces and show them off to you! The rear of our building has been transformed into new work spaces for our vendors and staff, with a dedicated delivery entrance from Chestnut Street. We’re adding three new freezers and three new refrigerators for expanded capacity. And you’ll notice new shelving as we reorganize the retail area and set the stage to offer even more local foods!
We will celebrate this milestone on Thursday, April 11th. Please join us for a ribbon cutting with the Lancaster Fairfield County Chamber of Commerce at NOON.
From 11:00am to 1:00 pm, you’ll also be able to:
• Tour the new space
• Sample local foods
• Meet some of our Ohio vendors
• Grab lunch from Chuck’s Wagon food truck
We hope you’ll join us!
