Rustic or regular?

Posted on June 26, 2008June 26, 2008 by Staff

Stop by the new Weaver Street Market on Friday at 5:30 p.m. and you could be witness to the first known store opening to include a baguette cutting in the history of Hillsborough.

In celebration of the opening of the new market — the cooperative’s third — dignitaries, including Mayor Tom Stevens, will gather around for the slicing through of a specially constructed six-foot-long baguette.

The store, located at 228 South Churton St., opened last Thursday as part of the town’s new Gateway Center. The cooperative has also opened its new Food House, centralizing food preparation for the Carrboro, Hillsborough and Southern Village stores.

The Carrboro store, the former home for most food preparation, will undergo an extensive upfit.

    How fresh could my wsm carrboro dinner from the hotbar actually BE, if it’s cooked in Hillsborough?. . .:(. . . That says CHAIN all over, and not much ‘local’ anything, mind local ‘coop’, nor ‘community’, on that plate. . .

    The best thing about WSM in Hillsborough is that you no longer have to drive to Harris Teeter in CH to avoid the local “flavor” of clientele. Then again, they might find it anyhow. Maybe the prices will make them think twice. Don’t bevieve me? Go to Lowes on Churton on a Saturday. Rows and rows of ugly, ugly people.

    you can always eat “fresh” at the Wendy’s – they are the “urban mojo” of Carrboro!!!

    Well for people in hillsboroiugh it’s nice so I am not sure why you are complaining about a store that you won’t even go to?
    It provides good business for the lovely town of Hillsborough as well

    Weaver Street is a beneficial addition to the Hillsborough shopping atmosphere (although they do have a few kinks to iron out still, especially with their hot bar), however too bad it was placed into such an ugly and inappropriate [for the Town of Hillsborough] building!
