Elizabeth Northern announced her Magnolia Cheese Company has closed its restaurant and will re-open as a neighborhood market called Magnolia Market & Cheese Company in early 2015. She’ll honor all gift cards, and continue to supply area restaurants with cheese.
“My heartfelt thanks to the loyal following we’ve accrued since opening in December 2012,” she said in a press release. “This support has inspired me to dream bigger. My original vision for a small local cheese shop blossomed into a great neighborhood restaurant for the past 23 months. I’m now better prepared to share my personal passion in providing a community food forum that promotes buying local groceries, while offering classes and conversations about real, healthy food. I’m excited to bring the next chapter of my cheese business to the Near Southside with the opening of Magnolia Market & Cheese Company early next year.”
The Near Southside neighborhood hasn’t had a market since Ryan’s Fine Grocery abruptly closed in July of last year.
