Quiche from The Turnip Truck
UPDATE: The opening of the new Turnip Truck location in East Nashville has been postponed, according to a representative.
"Due to weather conditions, Turnip Truck's new East Nashville store will not open this Thursday morning as originally planned. The Turnip Truck team is working hard to set a new opening date," the statement said.
Bites' previous story:
The eagerly awaited new and expanded location of natural foods grocery store The Turnip Truck in East Nashville is set to open this Thursday, Nov. 19.
As Bites reported back in December, The new Turnip Truck includes a juice bar, food bars both hot and cold, a bakery with gluten-free goods and a meat department.
With 13,000 square feet of retail space, the new store is four times the size of its predecessor, the store reports in a release today.
The new store is at 701 Woodland St. near East Park. That's about two blocks southeast southwest of the old store, which is at 927 Woodland, near Five Points.
Owner John Dyke opened the original East Nashville store in 2001, and he launched a larger Turnip Truck (about 9,000 square feet) in the Gulch in late 2010. That store has proven to be a pretty popular amenity for office workers, residents and tourists in the Gulch.
