A local business owner and entrepreneur believes there is serious promise and potential in the Northeast Ohio suburb, and he says it's the perfect spot for something similar.
"Having the energy and the ideas that I gained in Vegas working for the casinos, I thought this is a good idea to put a project here that will draw people in the city and make Brunswick a destination," Kyriazis, owner of Market 42 said.Instead of residents traveling to neighboring Strongsville and Downtown Cleveland, he said the full shopping, dining and living experience should happen in Brunswick.The project is gaining major acclaim from city leaders.
What may look like an abandoned business and grassy field to some—is actually so much more to Kyriazis.Over the next several months—crews will work to transform the space along busy Pearl Road north of Sleepy Hollow into a multicultural mixed-use market.The sprawling 26,000-square-foot area will offer more than three dozen specialty vendors.
"You can shop for your fresh foods, your meats, your vegetables, your fruits, etc. And at the same time have an enjoyable social area," Aungst said.Market 42 is also focusing on walkability with a trail and indoor-outdoor elements for residents and visitors to enjoy year-round.Kyriazis described it as that of an ecosystem where everyone can work off one another and thrive.
