NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — More doors are opening for emerging business owners as Downtown Norfolk’s Selden Market at 208 E. Main St. widens its retail footprint.
With a quarter of million people passing through the retail incubator hub annually, the city is focusing on its expansion, now entering the next phase of the $1 million project with the addition of new spaces.

“We have our largest space opening with a new renovation and it has a 2,000-square-foot space that we would really love to bring something that is really for the community,” said Careyann Weinberg, director of economic vitality for the Downtown Norfolk Council. “So I’d love to see, maybe a glorified bodega, if you will. It’s something where the residents of downtown could come and grab some cheese and some fruit and milk on their way home.”
Phase two also includes décor enhancements and upgrades to the renovation of the commercial kitchen and back room spaces.
