Johnny Gibsonβs Downtown MarketΒ will open its doors for the first time at 7 a.m. Monday in what co-owner Paul Cisek calls a βsoft opening.β
Most of the marketβs services, such as the deli and much of the prepared food, will be ready by Monday.
However, the meat department will not be open until July 25, he said.
The grand opening is slated for early September, he said.
Among other services, Cisek and his partners plan to offer a bicycle delivery service for elderly customers and a bicycle shuttle for customers who live nearby.
When it opens, the market will be the first of its kind in the downtown area in 42 years.
