The Local Market grocery store at 246 W. Broad Street will be under new ownership soon. Local residents Patrick and Mary Elizabeth Fleming and Tamara Powell are partnering to acquire the business from founders Tom and Laura Coates.

First opened in 2011, The Local Market offers fresh produce and quality foods from the local region. Patrick and Tammy say they are committed to continuing the excellent food selection and neighborly service that Falls Church has grown to love from Tom, Laura, and Tom’s father Tom Sr. The transaction is expected to complete on July 7.
