It happens to be one of the only single-floor shopping centres as well, so if stairs are an issue for you or a loved one it's definitely your best best.

The newest on the scene, Avenida opened their doors in December of 2018 and grew a loyal following through October of 2020. Today, Fresh & Local is happily serving customers in the same space in Avenida Village, still offering top-notch local products."

"Self-described as an “upscale urban food hall,” this location aims to meld the best parts of farmers’ markets and food halls into one tasty place. For some fancy dessert with Southern flair, try Waffles and Chix. Or, if you’ve got a relatively unpretentious hankering, try Dog Haus for a gourmet hot dog."
