In The Baltimore Banner: HOLLINS MARKET $2.1 MILLION MAKEOVER
The veil is beginning to lift on the monthslong redevelopment of Hollins Market, one of Baltimore city’s oldest, continuously operating public markets.
Hollins Market has been closed since last May and Baltimore Public Markets is starting to give people a sneak peak of what’s to come —hopefully this spring — at what they say will be a new and improved experience.
The $2.1 million redevelopment of the market in Southwest Baltimore promises to bring extended hours, renovated stalls and new vendors, including a bakery, a market cafe for casual to-go items and a grocer, called the Market at Hollins.
Black Acres Roastery is an artisan coffee roaster serving great coffee in the new Lexington Market building, as well as out of a location in the Station North district of Baltimore. Every roast, they strive to bring out the best qualities in unique coffees from around the world. They ethically source beans and curate roasting profiles that provide each cup of coffee a story.
Relationships from producers to customers are a central focus. Black Aces believes that making time to engage with one another in meaningful ways is crucial for building relationships and growing communities. They aim to provide an opportunity for all to have access to great tasting coffee.
