Two Chefs Delicatessen & Market is moving from its location in the Poinsett Plaza building to be the anchor tenant at the new Main + Stone development.
The longtime downtown Greenville restaurant and deli will be located in approximately 5,000 square feet on the primary corner of the project at North Main Street and Stone Ave.
Judy Balsizer and her husband, Bill, own the downtown location and another restaurant on Pelham Road. Balsizer said the new location will allow the company to expand its operations.
“We felt that the area was very similar to our Eastside store because it is in a residential area,” she said.
She said the restaurant’s name will be updated to Two Chefs Café & Market and the expanded operations will include a market that will primarily be “for people who just want to get in and get in quickly.”
It will sell grab-and-go items, prepared salads, fresh vegetables, beer and wine, candles, cards and other things that will serve residents in the above apartments and surrounding community.
Balsizer said she plans for the market to open at 7:30 a.m. and for the café to open from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Hours could change depending on the area’s needs, she said.
“If we have to adjust it we can,” she said.
The current downtown location closes at 5 p.m., and she said the extended hours at the new location will allow the restauraunt to offer dinner options.
The downtown location also uses all disposable plates and cutlery, but Balsizer said the Main + Stone restaurant will use china and glassware.
She said the new location is slated to open at the end of April or beginning of May next year if everything goes according to plan.
