A colorful addition to Avondale Estates’ recently overhauled main street could be weeks away from opening, following delays. 

New concept Galore Market is transforming a former tire shop and nondescript building at 2711 E. College Ave., near MARTA’s Avondale station and a popular PATH Foundation trail at the city’s western edge. 

The business is being put together by same team that operates O4W Market, a grocery concept on Decatur Street in Old Fourth Ward.

Galore Market previously hoped to open in October but is now aiming for a June 1 debut, according to Michael Wess, a Bull Realty partner who brokered the building’s sale last year. 

Market plans call for 2,300 square feet of interior space and roughly 700 square feet of outdoor patios, along with upstairs space for leasing. Expect a selection of organic foods along with beer and wine. 

The building in question most recently operated as a discount tire shop. According to a LoopNet listing, the two-story commercial structure spanned 4,800 square feet and included 15 parking spaces in its previous state. 

More than 17,000 vehicles pass the site per day, and 4,300 daily riders use the Avondale MARTA station one block to the west, per marketing materials.

The market is positioned at the western end of Avondale Estates’ recently finished Complete Street overhaul of U.S. Highway 278 (North Avondale Road/East College Avenue). 

Galore Market also plans to open a second new location less than half a mile west of the Avondale Estates building at the Halo project in Decatur. The two businesses will be aimed at different clientele, reps have said.
