Eckert’s announces opening date for St. Louis area pop-up market in Rock Hill

Eckert’s Market - Rock Hill has announced Thursday, June 24, as the opening date for its pop-up market at 9530 Manchester Road in St. Louis County.

“The pop-up location is just a short drive from where many of our guests already live,” Angie Eckert, vice president of retail operations, stated in the release. “For over 100 years, our mission has been to provide accessible farm fresh produce to our guests, and we cherish the opportunity to bring a bit of the Belleville farm across the river each year. This is our first time setting up in Rock Hill and we hope that it takes Eckert’s Summer Market to the next level as it’s centrally located and something the entire community can enjoy.”

The market is housed in a former Lucky’s Market. While Eckert’s is leasing the whole building, according to the release, the market will display only in the center of the retail space.

“We do hope that there is enough excitement and interest so we can ultimately expand further into the store as business demands,” continued Eckert.

Hours will be 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily starting Thursday, June 24 through Saturday, Aug. 28. Call 800-745-0513 or visit eckerts.com for more information.
