The brand new Oats & Barley Market has officially soft opened at 970 North High Street in the Short North, offering a boutique shopping experience to residents of Italian Village and Victorian Village as well as visitors to the area. The 3,000 square foot store offers fresh produce, prepared foods, wine and beer, and other healthy products.

“With so much new residential development, and a lot of residents who walk everywhere, we saw a need for a grocery that offers good, healthy products,” explained Co-Owner and Manager Shannon Sano in an interview with CU earlier this year. “We want to deliver stellar quality within an unrivaled new setting that’s both modern and unique, and that still feels comfortable and inviting.”

The store is hosting a grand opening event on August 27th with samples and tastings from some of the local product makers that can be found on the shelves at Oats & Barley.
