A Special Note from Noah I’m sending a note to all Metro Gourmet Market’s dedicated patrons. Metro Gourmet Market at 200 S. Elm Street will be closing at the end of February 2009. It’s truly been a pleasure serving you over the years and hope that we will still see you at Metro 300 located at 300 N. Greene Street. Although the menu is a bit smaller and missing neighborhood names, most all of our products are identical to those you’ve come to know and love, along with some new and exciting ones as well. Delivery service is not offered outside the building at this time, and that may change in the summer 2009. But we can certainly accommodate pick-up orders from that location until further notice. Again, THANKS for all of the support you’ve offered us and let us know how we can continue to maintain our relationship in the future. Sincerely, Noah Burgess (See below for Metro 300) |
