Most people know Peacock Market in Clovis by its big colorful sign that lights up at night.
The market on Tollhouse Road at Sunnyside Avenue has been around for more than six decades — first as a grocery store and then as a convenience and liquor store.
Now it’s reinventing itself once again by creating the Peacock Artisan Eatery and bringing in three new restaurants.
The Pickled Deli recently opened serving sandwiches inside the market. Its other location at First Street and Nees Avenue in Fresno is still open, along with its original Visalia location.
Also open is a second location of The Mug , a coffee shop that started at Champlain Drive and Perrin Avenue.
And coming soon, Heavenly Freeze will be serving scoops of Thrifty Ice Cream with its unique cylindrical shape.
They join Miguel’s Taqueria , the maker of Miguel’s Salsa, which has been running a restaurant serving Mexican food inside Peacock Market since December.
