Lucy’s Market, the Buckhead specialty shop locals hit for prepared foods, local produce and those gift baskets that save you 20 minutes at the wine store, is trading up to a larger storefront without leaving the neighborhood. The family-owned market started nearly two decades ago as a humble produce stand and has been run by founder Kim Wilson since she opened the brick-and-mortar shop in 2009. The relocation is expected to give the store more room for its wine program and prepared-food offerings while keeping it firmly planted in Buckhead.
As reported by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Wilson plans to move Lucy’s Market into a larger Buckhead space. For now, the market still lists 56 East Andrews Drive NW as its current address on the Lucy’s Market site. The move keeps the business in Buckhead and preserves the neighborhood footprint that has defined the shop for years.
New space, new hours
Filed paperwork with neighborhood planners lists the new site as 3402 Piedmont Rd NE and proposes daily hours of 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to WhatNow Atlanta. The filings place Lucy’s near several restaurants and retailers along Piedmont Road, which could give a boost to foot traffic for grab-and-go prepared foods and corporate gifting runs. No firm opening date is included in the application.
Why it matters for Buckhead shoppers
Buckhead has been seeing renewed leasing chatter and development interest that coverage suggests could lift retail demand in the neighborhood, as Haute Living notes. For an independent like Lucy’s, staying in Buckhead while gaining square footage could mean steadier weekday sales and more room for events and corporate orders. That blend of prepared food, wine and curated gifts is exactly the kind of concept that tends to benefit from a slightly larger footprint in a busy village corridor.
What’s next: WhatNow Atlanta reports it reached out to Wilson for more details and had not yet received a response. The Atlanta Business Chronicle story remains the most detailed local notice so far, and the market’s website continues to list the Andrews Square address for orders and pick-ups. Shoppers who count on Lucy’s for corporate gifting or weekend meal kits will want to watch for an official announcement on a soft-opening date and any expanded services.
