When we stopped in over Easter the folks now said they were moving to Watercolor Landings (Publix) in Aug. Those that love the current place pls excuse us, but a new location there would suit my family fine (more room inside) and I feel would do wonders for their business over the next two years with the building at NaturesWalk and W.C phase 4, and bike over from Phase 2. I do not know but would be suprised if they ever re-opend at current location (land is just too valuable). We do LOVE the hush puppies)

I thought the same thing. It depends on what size unit they get at WaterColor Crossings as to whether they have more room. I think there is a single between the liquor store and UPS store, and one on the other side of the UPS store (maybe 2?). The singles are pretty small so they would need 2. Most of their business comes from construction crews but I see no reason why they can't keep it at the new location.

Is this happening? If so, when? We LOVE this place!
Thanks!

They are moving, supposedly temporarily until the development is completed at the existing site. I believe they are moving into two units sometime this month.

In season, hardly any of their business is construction folks. Even out of season, still less than half. Too expensive.
The construction folks USED TO eat at the Wheelhouse. I overheard the manager at Publix say recently that the Wheelhouse fire was the best thing that ever happened to their noon-hour deli counter business.

I don't go in the market anymore at lunch, but I don't remember it being any more expensive than almost anywhere else. Your post also makes me wonder who's driving all the construction vehicles I see out front at lunch. Maybe they're getting cigs and beer?
There are 2 spots next to UPS but no construction is started - I will keep an eye out. There will be no move until they are nearly ready to demolish the old building.
FWIW - someone with a store at WC Crossing told me months ago that Publix would welcome a food tenant because they make very little profit at the deli.
If a restaurant does open at Hotel Viridian and it does happen to serve lunch, Grouper sandwiches will be $19.95 on a white tablecloth. But it still could be called "The Seagrove Market".

The only time I have ever been in SoWal is off season and there are all construction trucks in front, and when I have eaten there, mainly workers on lunch.
Their po boys are very reasonably priced for the area.

No, it's not more expensive than anywhere else, just more expensive than the average framing carpenter wants to pay.
I usually eat lunch there once a week. In season, I'd guess 80% of the tables are vacationers, one or two tables of real construction workers. The remainder appear to be construction managers, developers, etc. which would account for some trucks out front. Maybe I'm not there when they are, who knows?

I'm sincerely hoping this doesn't prove true. "Moving upmarket" usually hurts more people than it helps.

Has anyone heard if the new hotel at the market is still a go for Aug construction or have slow sales pushed the start date back?
Beach Fanatic
Lunches at Seagrove market are reasonable but the same food ordered at dinner (or very similar) is quite expensive. I don't know who's eating there at lunch because I'm typically too focused on my po'boy.
Oh, it's good to be back on SoWal.com and talking about food...

I was there last week. Ate lunch there twice. Grouper Sandwich. Love it. I asked when they were moving and they said it may be a year or more. Said they will probably still be there next summer.

They were open as of last night.

I had my weekly lunch there today. The grouper was just fine, thank you, as usual.
They've taken down most of the signage for the Hotel Whateveritssillynameis, so maybe that project is on hold?
And yes, there were real construction workers there today, but the vacationer count was way down, making room for them.

Seagrove Market is just the tip of the iceburg.
You know, 30-A is going downhill as the seconds tick by. What we used to know as 30-A will soon become the land of high-rise condos ? la Destin thanks to people with pure greed who have no respect for the legacy of 30-A. Pigs who own SFR (single family residence) properties are requesting rezoning to multiple family residences at this very moment.
If you want to keep 30-A as we know it, you'd better speak out loud and clear before it's too late. And I'm talking within the next two weeks.

BR, what specifically are you talking about?

Our neighbor went to the courthouse today. The county (actually an old guy in an unmarked pickup truck) put the sign regarding an August 29 meeting in front of the wrong property yesterday. OOPS! However, that property has been sold, despite the fact that the previous owner denied having any intention of selling it.

Usually the owner is responsible for posting the meeting signs, do you think it might have been an civil engineer working for the owner?

It appears that the signage for the new Vridian Hotel was vandalized recently. I suspect that is why the sign is no longer up.
