Meet Midweek Market’s new owner
Congratulations to Garth McNamara new owner of the Old Nick Midweek Market, pictured here shaking on the deal with Remax Plett agent Robert Auersperg, left. A prominent businessman in Plett and Knysna, Garth is part-owner of Rug n Tile/Top Carpets.
One of the requirements of the recent purchase was that the applicant is vetted by the landlord by means of a rigorous screening process, which Garth passed with flying colours.
The Midweek Market was started by Genevieve Berg4 and Mariella Rossi in September 2012, so is fast approaching its seventh birthday, which promises to be a big bash and double celebration with Garth as new owner!
Operating every Wednesday from 10 am to 2 pm the market features interesting stalls that include organic whole foods (fruit, vegetables and meat), second-hand books, kombucha, nuts and grains, tasty homemade food like curry and rice, pies, coffee, cake and much more.
It has grown immensely in popularity and is a regular favourite among locals and visitors alike. Genevieve has taken a bold move to emigrate to Nova Scotia in Canada and we wish her all the best with this new venture, as we do Garth and all the operators who make this market such a success.
