This story has been updated. 

Avondale Estates Mayor Ed Rieker continues to add tenants to his Tudor Square building, situated in the city’s historic downtown.

The latest company to sign a lease is The Market in Avondale, according to the Tudor Square Facebook page. The announcement from Tudor Square said the store will be owned by the same owners of the Oak Grove Market on LaVista Road in greater Decatur, but The Market in Avondale says its unaffiliated with that company.

Tudor Square announced the new store on July 24.

“Same owners as Oak Grove, same great meat, deli and food, ” the Tudor Square Facebook page says. “Different name.”

The building will be located at 10 North Clarendon Avenue. Tomorrow’s News Today notes that the space was formerly home to the Thumbs Up Diner. The Market is planning to open in September, according to its newly-created Facebook page.

The Market in Avondale joins the Watts Whiskey Distillery and the Garage Door Studio. According to the company’s website, Rieker is still looking for a restaurant to move into Tudor Square, located at 119 Center Street.

“The restaurant will join an exciting, energetic culinary community at the heart of Avondale Estates and will enjoy one of the finest restaurant spaces in the city,” The Tudor Square website says. “The 2,300 square foot restaurant space also includes over 1,000 square feet of additional potential outdoor seating.”

According to property tax records, Rieker owns four parcels downtown, which he purchased in June 2013 for $539,800.
