NORFOLK, VA — Downtown Norfolk Council announced that Selden Market has selected three new incubator storefront tenants. Slide Thru #FAM and KOR Vintage have celebrated their grand openings the weekend of October 12th and 13th. Pure Lagos has transitioned from a pop-up and is already open for business.
Selden Market serves as Downtown Norfolk’s first retail incubator for new and emerging businesses. Selden creates a constantly changing environment with diverse storefront tenants and pop-up businesses that operate on daily-to-yearly lease schedules. The goal of the market is to stimulate street-level activity with low rent, short-term leases, business education and mentorship to help businesses shape their model, learn from each other and build community in a low-risk environment.
Slide Thru #FAM: A fast casual eatery serving modern handhelds with Filipino and American flavors
Adding a savory food option to the market, Slide Thru #FAM is the result of a decade-long friendship of co-owners Chef Eric Jackson and Rina Parrilla Garcia. The two met working in a corporate restaurant and immediately connected on their shared love of food and music. The pair will feature signature sliders like the Mango-Dobo or the Dinuguan-Mi.
