Marketing Preservation Award:
Kim and Joe Grant/Grant’s Marketplace

Grant’s Marketplace was originally established in 1925 as Rosenthal’s Grocery. In subsequent years, this South Park market had fallen into disrepair, becoming a neighborhood eyesore rather than a neighborhood treasure. South Park residents Kim and Joe Grant purchased the market 18 months ago and embarked on its restoration. With the help and support of community members, the couple cleaned out debris, painted, and restored the market and the features of its 1930’s façade. With the addition of sidewalk patio seating and the opening of a deli and espresso bar within the market, Grant’s Marketplace has become a popular neighborhood gathering place.
