Healthy Living Market and Cafe Comes To Saratoga!

Saratoga Springs, NY – The anchor space at Saratoga Springs’ Wilton Mall left vacant by J.C. Penney five years ago will be filled by Healthy Living Market and Cafe, a natural foods supermarket based in South Burlington, Vermont. Construction is scheduled to begin this summer and an opening date is tentatively set for mid-winter. The market will provide around 140 jobs to the Saratoga Springs community and bring a new level of culinary possibilities to the area.

Healthy Living Market and Cafe will occupy the approximately 35,000 square foot space and offer shoppers a one-stop destination for natural groceries, fresh organic and local produce, locally sourced meats and poultry, crusty artisan breads, a world of cheese, health and beauty products, a complete vitamin/supplement department, freshly prepared foods and a broad selection of microbrews and wine.

When looking to open a second location, Katy Lesser recognized a vibrant, growing community in Saratoga Springs. “We took a long time to find the ideal place for our second location,? she explained. ” The energy and spirit I see in Saratoga Springs matches the kind of environment we love to support;  a community that’s passionate about a certain quality of life, where good food and agriculture play important roles. We’re anxious to begin partnerships with businesses and farmers, schools and organizations in the area, and start working to become part of the community.

Healthy Living offers a vast array of the best all natural, organic and local foods. The market at the Wilton Mall will include a Caf? for dining in or taking out, featuring an eclectic menu, made fresh daily, including vegetarian and vegan options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a full barista area for a wide variety of coffee and tea drinks.
