Seagrove Village Market Cafe

Heard they were closing soon. Any ideas as to when this may happen if it's true? I'd like to go eat there before they close!!

I hope this is incorrect.

This is our typical first meal spot when we come down. The Seagrove Villas Motel is closing. Kurt, enlighten us.

Oh, nooooo! Seagrove Market Cafe is an icon!

The plan has always been for It to move when Hotel Viridian is ready to move forward with construction. Probably not soon although the RE market is heating up and there is a lot of interest in Viridian.

There are no plans at this time to move the Seagrove Village Market- - it will eventually happen. But no plans at the moment! We will just move it to another location ---- all the same "DEEP FRIED LOVE" and goodness!!

Whew!!! Good news. Y'all don't scare me like that.

Glad to have it cleared up! Thanks!

After last week's turn of events, that future event will pretty much destroy the last remaining "Old Seagrove" business landmark since I started visiting the area in 1987 (Wheelhouse - GONE; Seagrove Villas & Motel - GONE; Seagrove Village Market (building) - TO BE RAZED). I know it's a "good" thing when old landmarks are torn down to be replaced with bigger, better, nicer, grander, higher-dollar structures so that people can be attracted to the area, but for some reason, many of us have been attracted by the "old" stuff for a long time.

bigger/ newer is not always better

I'm not sure you have your facts correct. The Seagrove Village Market is not being razed. The concept has always been to move it to a new location. From what Ann has said, just a few posts ago, this is not happening any time soon. Let's not perpetuate false rumors.

Maybe Seagrove Village Market will be moved to Alys Beach and put next to George's. For those who don't know, Georges is the old Sandor's Rest. building which was located next to the Village Market and moved to Aly Beach by, wait for it, ..... George and Ann Hartley.

**TreeFrog** · 08-28-2012, 06:54 AM

Moving the building, Ann, or just the business?

**Ann hartley** · 09-03-2012, 06:47 PM

Unfortunately we cannot move the building-- but with our plans at this time-- it'll look exactly the same! That sweet old building is held together with bandaids--- it even still has glass fuses-- for those of us who know what those are!!! We promise when the time comes we'll move the business to another Seagrove location and it'll be the same yummy tradition we've all enjoyed for all these years!!!!!!

That sounds cool! It would be awesome across the street but I'm guessing not enough room.
