History

Established in 2007.

We began under a tent at the Raleigh Flea Market at the NC State Fairgrounds in 2007. Later we moved inside to a permanent location inside the Education Building. In 2013, we moved to our new location at 1217 Hillsborough St in Raleigh, NC.

In 2015, as part of our second year anniversary, we added a craft beer bar serving draft beer.
