Krog Street Market is a west coast style epicurean market hall, located in the heart of Inman Park, one of Atlanta’s most historic intown neighborhoods. It features covered market stalls to sell fresh produce, specialty goods and prepared foods as well as a few southern-grown, chef-driven neighborhood restaurants. The market offers a gathering place for eating and socializing in a re-purposed 1920’s warehouse on Krog Street that was once part of the historic Atlanta Stove Works. Located a half block away from the Atlanta Beltline’s Eastside Trail, the market has become a destination for bikers, walkers and joggers from all around Atlanta.
The transformation of what was once a pot-belly stove and iron pan factory warehouse into Krog Street Market is a success story for urban adaptive re-use and neighborhood revitalization. When the 100 year old factory shut its doors in the late 1980’s, the warehouse was abandoned for over two decades until it was converted into a movie and television studio for Tyler Perry Studios in 2008. When Paces Properties acquired the building in 2012, a new vision was born to revitalize the original structure by removing all the studio sets and production facilities, opening the warehouse up to the street, and restoring vast skylights in the central hall. Structural and architectural modifications and additions were made to enhance its new use as a market, while respecting its original sense of historic authenticity.

"Renovated from a 1920’s warehouse, the design of the market stalls, common areas with clerestory skylights and industrial lighting, and covered outdoor patios is as authentic as the retail and culinary culture the development hopes to cultivate."
