I think people also feel like it is going to be an experience that is more than a restaurant. Our space has a lot of moving parts, but it is a place that anybody can come in, grab a cookie or cup of coffee in the morning, or find out what is going on Downtown. I think our missions is, and especially here, to build community for Winston-Salem. My mission since I have started working in restaurants with The Porch, and then Alma Mexicana, and now here is really just to “Build Community.” It is easy to do that around food because everyone has to eat, and it is a good democratizer. People will come in here and say “Oh! Tell us what Winston-Salem is like.” Because of our central location we can point them to Bookmarks or tell them about the Empire State Building prototype, and other things about Downtown. It is nice to be an ambassador for the city. Well it has been great! We have had so many people that stay downtown, and come visit for the first time when there are parents of students, or people from out of town visiting. What has being a part of the Winston-Salem community been like for Canteen Market? My favorite thing to do when I visit a new city is to go shopping for unique food and gift items, and those are the types of products we sell! We also spend a lot of time curating our Beer and Wine selection. Canteen is a comfortable atmosphere that you could come to twice a day to eat here or grab stuff for your house. We wanted to bring curated products from all over the area, and have a restaurant to prepare food for the growing number of people living downtown. Having been in other cities that have markets like this, I wanted to create a mini Winston-Salem version of that market concept. We opened about a year ago in September of 2018.
