The Pullman Market, located between the Can Plant Residences and the San Antonio River Walk in the Samuels Glass building in the Pearl shopping district, will open later this month.The first time Kevin Fink walked through the vacant glass factory, a 1948 brick industrial building bought by the Pearl owners in 2015, he knew what it was meant to become.
The new 40,000-square-foot market located at 221 Newell Ave. between the Can Plant Residences and the San Antonio River Walk will feature a specialty grocer, a whole-animal butcher, a sourdough bakery and chef supply shop. The market will also have five quick-service eateries and four distinct restaurants.
“Whenever you have a vision of something, you really want people to be captured by it,” he said. “People coming from normal retail are like, ‘I’ve been waiting for this,’ and people from restaurants, it just makes sense to them.”Brenda Bazán / San Antonio ReportFink, 39, is an experienced chef and also CEO of Emmer & Rye Hospitality, which shares a name with the highly acclaimed Austin restaurant that he opened in 2015.
“I think food for me is just a lifelong love affair where the more that I learned about it, the more I’m intrigued by it,” he said. “We wanted to be a part of a community that really was growing but also was supportive of food and cared about food,” Fink said. “I think Texas, not just Austin, but Texas really shined amongst all those things because everyone that we talked to had a story about food — whether it was barbecue or farming or coffee.”In addition to Emmer & Rye, Fink is now chef and owner of Austin restaurants Hestia, Kalimotxo, Canje and Ezov.
