Admission is free and everyone is welcome. They even have food trucks, drink stands and today they had entertainment. Some stands are a second store front for a bigger businesses and some are folks that run a smaller business in markets like this. It's all good. There's quite the variety. We had fantastic weather on our only chance to experience this treasure. As you might expect, we drank too much, ate too much and spent far too much on the local crafts. You only live once. Parking sucked. We had to walk a couple blocks. It was a decent area making for a nice stroll. Everyone involved showed us so much heartfelt hospitality and good will. We talked to so many locals and learned so much about the area and the town's history, it was a total shock that we'd spent 4 hours here. 10/24

All People's Fresh Market is amazing. It truly lives up to its name, it is for ALL people. They…read moredo not turn anyone away. The first time you go you have to provide your drivers license. They basically set you up in their system, takes less than 5 minutes. They ask absolutely no questions and after checking you in the first time they provide you with a key tag that you simply show each time you go in the future. They have both a drive thru, and a walk up option to pick up fresh food. If you choose to do the walk up, they do have parking spots available. Everyone that is working / volunteering is kind and judgement free. What I have found is that many that are in need of food in Columbus do not have the proper transportation. I have stopped by All People's Fresh Market and picked up a box of food to drop off to those in need. The joy those families have when I arrive with a big box of food is totally worth it. If you are in need of fresh food, or you know someone that is, please pass this info on. All People's Fresh Market is a savior.

It's not huge, and we easily walked back and forth through the market quickly.

The kind of meal that has you planning your next visit before you even leave. And if you're a ginger ale fan... do yourself a favor and try their Ginger Beer by Warped Wing Soda Co.. SO good.

***Reposting My Recently Deleted Review (from 2012):…read more I did go to this Kroger when I moved downtown 13 years ago. The King Ave. Kroger had not yet been rebuilt; and it seemed like it was always ransacked and out of, basically, everything. This Kroger seems bigger than that south campus Kroger. This Arena District German location looks and feels like it has more aisle space - a big deal in the urban core. Their organic and vegetarian sections have more variety, too I feel this is the best store around the downtown area. However, King Ave. Kroger is closer to home, so it all basically boils down to how much "variety" I'm looking for on a grocery shopping outing.

It's a good sized building, with a decent parking lot. Inside there's a little bit of produce, a good selection of dry goods, and some snacks and drinks. Prices are a bit high. They are obviously still putting things in place; they are using about 2/3 of the area, and will be setting up more displays. Service was good. I got a couple of snacks. I'll be back in a month or two when they have things fully set up.

Amazing prices and selections. I will definitely be supporting this market from here on out.read more
