Capital City Grocery Reopens
On Saturday Capital City Grocery reopened, after changing owners and going through a bit of an overhaul. Anyone who hasn’t gotten to check out Capital City Grocery and the rest of Seaboard Station is highly encouraged to do so, the Grocery is in good company with Logan’s and Sun Flowers. The grocery is focusing on organic and natural goods and includes salad and hot bars with selections of vegetarian and omnivore friendly cuisine. With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating- its a great place to grab lunch downtown. Complimenting the food they will also offer beer and wine by the glass as well as a full coffee menu. The store has stayed much the same, but I’m sure we can expect some evolution as they find the right market.
Lets hope Capital City gives Whole Foods some good competition as it would benefits Raleigh residents doubly. Our city can only benefit from smart minded independent businesses like this one.

I really like the new Seaboard Station area. Seaboard Gym just opened the other day too. And more importantly, Ace Hardware also recently opened. I spoke with the owner, who is a local guy. We talked for a long while (my paint was being mixed). I hadn’t thought about it, but his store is the only hardware store downtown.
He really does need our support.

A grocery is one of many types of establishments that can encourage community development. I’m very glad they’ve reopened in conjunction with the other new services Barden mentioned. I didn’t realize a hardware store had opened there. This is a great thing for downtown since previously we had to venture out to the crossroads maze. I would additionaly like to see a grocery in close proximity to fayetteville street. I think it would activate the area immensely.

I agree wholeheartedly with Chad.
Someone needs to report back on how the prices compare to Whole Foods.

I love Capital City- I was bummed when it was in renovation for so long, but I can’t wait to see it! That is definitely where I go for my Larry’s Beans!....I also heard there is an excellent German restaurant next to Ace Hardware.

I really hope the grocery fixed the sewage smell I always wafted at the entrance.
Did the Ace guy really claim he was the only hardware downtown? I’ve been going to Handyman for years although I haven’t had needed to for quite some time. Granted it is smaller and doesn’t have the variety Ace offers, but its a great place for fasteners and such, just not power tools. They’re very friendly and helpful, a real mom and pops type place. They’ll even cut glass for you.
