The Azalea Fresh Market Story
Atlanta's first municipal grocery store with fresh and local goods.
Azalea Fresh Market is a community driven grocery store located in the heart of downtown Atlanta. We were created through a partnership with the City of Atlanta, Invest Atlanta, IGA, and Savi Provisions to meet a clear need: fresh, healthy, and affordable food for everyone who lives, works, and visits downtown.
We are open every day from 7AM to 10PM, making it easy to stop in before work, after class, or on the way home. Azalea Fresh Market is more than a grocery store. We are a partner in creating a healthier, safer, and stronger downtown Atlanta by supporting local farmers, creating jobs, and building connections across our neighborhood.
