![]() ![]() I have three kids and we live near downtown, so we will walk to Bookmarks and walk down to Camino and get coffee. I really like spending time at concerts in Bailey Park, I enjoy being outdoors in the city. What is the most fun thing to do in Winston-Salem? It is supposed to be a come as you are atmosphere, and if we don’t have something you like we will try to figure it out! Then the Bistro! You can have a fast lunch of more casual stuff, or a more elegant sit down dinner that is kind of a treat. You can get sandwiches and snack packs to go as well. We have a lot of sweets and our baker is always trying new things. Then we also have prepared foods, you can get prepared salads, or whole meals to go. The wine is high quality, but not high price point. We try really hard to have the wine not be grocery store wine. Then we have a wine and beer cellar, and both the wine and beer are pretty much stuff you would not necessarily find elsewhere. It is not necessarily a grocery store, but it is definitely a uniquely curated group of products. We have stuff you would not find anywhere else. You can easily browse through all of our market products. The patio is also really nice especially this time of year!Ĭan you give me a walk through of Canteen Market?ġst you would come in and see the bar, and the coffee counter which is a great place to come and study, read, or visit people. It is easy to have a good time with somebody you are with, you can eat, or find some silly stuff you want to buy, or a gift. There is stuff to do here, which again is a fun way to build community. I think people also feel like it is going to be an experience that is more than a restaurant. Our space has a lot of moving parts, but it is a place that anybody can come in, grab a cookie or cup of coffee in the morning, or find out what is going on Downtown. I think our missions is, and especially here, to build community for Winston-Salem. My mission since I have started working in restaurants with The Porch, and then Alma Mexicana, and now here is really just to “Build Community.” It is easy to do that around food because everyone has to eat, and it is a good democratizer. People will come in here and say “Oh! Tell us what Winston-Salem is like.” Because of our central location we can point them to Bookmarks or tell them about the Empire State Building prototype, and other things about Downtown. It is nice to be an ambassador for the city. Well it has been great! We have had so many people that stay downtown, and come visit for the first time when there are parents of students, or people from out of town visiting. What has being a part of the Winston-Salem community been like for Canteen Market? ![]() My favorite thing to do when I visit a new city is to go shopping for unique food and gift items, and those are the types of products we sell! We also spend a lot of time curating our Beer and Wine selection. Canteen is a comfortable atmosphere that you could come to twice a day to eat here or grab stuff for your house. ![]() We wanted to bring curated products from all over the area, and have a restaurant to prepare food for the growing number of people living downtown. Having been in other cities that have markets like this, I wanted to create a mini Winston-Salem version of that market concept. We opened about a year ago in September of 2018. ![]() What is the background of Canteen Market and how long have you been operating? ![]()
