Pars Market moves up front!
Pars Market, purveyor of wonderful Mediterranean edibles, has leased the front space in the new building at 12923 NW Cornell. They’ll be expanding their selection and opening a deli/coffee shop that will take advantage of the roll-up door for sidewalk café service.
The new space will be 30% larger than their current shop at the back end of the building. They’re adding refrigerator and freezer space to provide more fresh and frozen food and beverages, along with their current selection of imported and specialty foods from all those healthy and delicious Mediterranean cuisines, including Persian, Lebanese, French, Greek and Israeli foods.
They will be moving in early May, so plan to join us for a CMBA ribbon cutting celebration. Meanwhile, stop in and see what they have, and enjoy a cup of Caffe Umbria coffee or espresso.
