Tapas bistro, 'Public Kitchen & Bar' in Kitchener, Ontario has opened up a local grab-and-go market that features freshly prepared, made-in-house food items.
This local market features a small rotating selection of seasonal food items. Many of the foods require little to no cooking -- its confit game hen for example is served with kale & lentils, and just needs to be thrown in the oven in its container. Some of its items are specially curated, with bestsellers including locally sourced pork chops or house-made bread crumbs. This local market also has a small food staple pantry section that includes essentials like milk and various sauces. One of the in-house highlights Public Market & Bakery offers is its luxurious Fois Gras Pate. Available in take home jars, this special treat is a fantastic addition to a cheese board when entertaining.
The commitment to high quality seasonal ingredients make this local grab-and-go market a unique retail concept that is set to appeal to Millennial consumers.
