Prepare for our newest vendor, Selo Market & Eatery! Matt will be another in a long line of businesses getting their start at 4MRMarket. We're proud of our role as an incubator for small businesses! In owner and chef Matt Pellerito's own words:
"Selo Market & Eatery combines locally grown products and worldly influence in everything we do. With a focus on detail and design the market represents our love and passion for food, from childhood memories to experiences traveling and living abroad. "Selo" means "village" to us (Matt and Joanna) it also means home-grown and local, meant to be shared with family, friends and community."
