Market & Co Opens at Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket

Newmarket just got a lot cooler. And tastier.

A 40,000 square foot mega market – Market & Co – just opened at Upper Canada Mall, and it’s pretty exciting. Inside, you’ll find 20 merchants including 3 full-service restaurants, a butcher, a fishmonger, a wine shop, a floral boutique, chips, ice cream, juice and so so much more.

This trendy hipster indoor market caters to just about anyone – the person who needs to stop and grab ready-made meals or produce at Vince’s Market, fresh bread at Our Farm Organic Bakery, the dessert-obsessed who want to compare Sweet Jesus to Bake Three Fifty to Sugar King and Amadeus Patisserie.

You’re visiting friends? You can pick up pastries, wine, locally produced Newmarket olive oil, fresh flowers. Or perhaps you want a place to dine without leaving the mall or finding a spot in the food court.

At Market & Co, there are three sit-down options: MidiCi, a Neopolitan style pizzeria from the US with its first Canadian location here at Upper Canada, the popular Union Chicken, which is known for using chickens that are hormone and antibiotic free, and Amano, an Italian eatery, where everything is, as its name suggests, made by hand. Chef Michael Angeloni is the executive chef at the latter two locations.

And if that wasn’t enough, in the heart of the market is Kitchen & Co, a full-service working kitchen, where chefs will conduct cooking lessons. You can even rent it out for private functions.

One thing to note: there’s nothing pretentious about the Market. It’s loud and casual. Bring your kids, your parents, your friends. It doesn’t matter if you pop in for a minute or stay for hours (and you literally could spend hours in here).

My advice: go see it. If you’re from Newmarket: congratulations, this is super special and an exciting addition to the community and region. And if you’re not, hey, it’s not too far – make it a destination. It’s totally worth it.
