EPIC Market was conceived and is run by two Edmonton entrepreneurs who both graduated from the U of A, the business was financed in Edmonton, the project was completed by an Edmonton developer, the design was from an Edmonton architectural form, and construction was done by an Edmonton contractor using Edmonton sub-trades.

It does look great and it does have good vibes but FFS they’re well earned Edmonton vibes, not MTL or Portland vibes.

Had lunch there a couple weeks back. Food was great. Owner came over and introduced himself. Nice guy. Hope they do well. Off to a good start.
 
Its amazing how some of you folks were saying that this street is not pedestrian friendly when we were debating about this project before it got off the ground. I think Beljan did a great job making it pedestrian friendly.
Truly a huge public service. Plus the city did improve the west side as well. For a major roadway, it’s about as good as can be.

I was there Wednesday night for dinner. I loved the space. I had a very tasty Korean chicken sandwich and honey fries. It wasn't very busy, unfortunately, but it was only Wednesday, I guess. Here's a few shots of the third floor.

I really hope they get good week round traffic. Definitely the challenge of a larger space like this. Needs more to feel not empty. Hopefully more density keeps coming to this area too.
