The Merc rubs elbows with the Easter Bunny!








On Saturday, March 22, the Easter Bunny made a stop in Candler Park and we didn't dare miss it! Our pal, E.B. showed up courtesy of the Friends of Candler, an organization recently revived by JoJo Ross of Candler Park Operation Boot Camp. JoJo made special arrangements with E.B. to hide his famous, candy filled eggs all over the park before the kids arrived to hunt them out. In addition to photo ops with E.B., kids of the neighborhood had an opportunity to make crafts, munch on homemade Easter cookies from The Mercantile and watch our balloon meister, Mr. Andy, craft balloon toys for everyone. We were thrilled to take part in the event and hats off to JoJo and the Easter Bunny for making it such a great day!

The Mercantile is coming to Candler Park




Hello, neighbors and food lovers. We are so excited to bring The Mercantile to Atlanta. We're a specialty grocery store with a focus on prepared foods. The Mercantile wants to be the grocery store you’ve been dreaming about. Have you been wishing for a place where you could swing in and grab a hot, chef prepared meal for dinner at the end of that long work day? While you’re at it, you may as well have someone behind the counter slice off some artisanal cheese to have with that French baguette. If you’re in need of any staples, there’s plugra, farm fresh eggs, whole milk and local, organic produce to help you get in that serving of veggies. All that in one stop! And you’ll never feel better doing it. At The Mercantile, we pride ourselves on providing the best guest services you could imagine while getting the freshest food in town!






We've started a blog and have lots to share. We've had some delays and would like to keep you up to date on our progress, our community involvement and plans for the future. Plus you can get a sneak peek on what it's like on our maiden voyage as first time business owners. Check back for updates and take a peek at our pictures to see what we've been up to!
