FOUNDERS' FOOD HALL & MARKET

While the hall is open year-round, its wintertime standard hours of operation are Friday and Saturday 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and Sunday 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. However, Clemence says, some vendors are offering extended hours. In addition to its vendors, which will soon include a brand-new PEI Liquor store that will offer high- end specialty product as well as a tasting room, Founders’ also hosts a variety of events, such as the recent Oktoberfest. Current events include the Live Music Happy Hour on Fridays, when residents are encouraged to come in after work to unwind. “We are always open to new and interesting ideas,” says Clemence. “Because of the amount of space in the hall, it lends itself to so many different opportunities for meetings and events, both big and small.” Limited parking space has been a concern for many Islanders, but Clemence says parking is available in the lot adjacent to the west side of Founders’ Hall, as well as the lot located next to the condos in front of the Marina. “This location offers parking on any non-cruise day, and every day throughout the winter,” she says. No matter what the weather, according to Clemence, the creation of Founders’ has been long overdue in Charlottetown. “[The hall] is a chance for us to showcase some of the best product on Prince Edward Island, and create a community hub for locals and visitors alike to come and enjoy,” she says. “The vendors have all taken such great ownership of the success and long-term viability of this space, we know it will be a mainstay in Charlottetown for years to come.” Top (L-R) Holy Fox, (Evan Ceretti Photography) Soap & Candle, (Rachel Peters Photography) Middle: Truck N' Roll (Evan Ceretti Photography) Bottom: (L-R) Wren Sheidow at Doughnuts by Design, (Story Thorburn Photography) Oh Hey PEI.
