Logan Street Market celebrated its 4th anniversary over the weekend. In honor of that, here are four changes taking place at the Shelby Park market:

Now, there’s pizza

Twisted Piez artisan pizza comes from Chef Ashlee Northington of Happy Belly Bistro, who you may have seen on the Food Network. The menu includes the pizza classics, like cheese + pepperoni, plus three other personal pan options — count us in for the “Spicy Gio.” It’s open Wednesday-Sunday for lunch and dinner.

A fave is on the move

If you’ve been to Logan Street Market on a Saturday or Sunday, you’ve probably encountered the long lines for FOKO. That popularity has led the Southern Mexican breakfast and lunch operation to outgrow its space. FOKO is moving across the street to the former Tim Faulkner Gallery location. It’s expected to open mid-November.

New neighbors upstairs

Nativas Market, which offers handmade Colombian goods created by women, permanently moved onto the second floor. Shop for home goods + accessories Tuesday-Friday.

A Logan Street workout

Pickleball is taking America by storm — more on that later — and Logan Street Market is getting in on the craze. The market has added an indoor pickleball court near its in-house brewery, Wild Hops — a beer after a hard-fought pickleball match doesn’t sound too bad.

From the editor

I live a few blocks from Logan Street Market, and it’s become a Sunday morning staple for me and my family. It’s great to see so many local businesses thriving there and then move on to bigger and better things, like FOKO. I, for one, am thrilled that it’s staying in the neighborhood.
