A new sign has gone up in front of the former Wallace's Garden Center and Greenhouses in the northwest corner of Davenport's Northwest Boulevard and Division Street.
Friday's Fresh Market, a business founded in 2015 by Andrew and Chen Freitag, of Davenport, purchased the Wallace's location last fall, and will keep operating it as a traditional garden center and greenhouse.
The business is temporarily closed for remodeling, but will have a soft re-opening on Monday, Feb. 17, carrying a full line of products just as Wallace's did. This means bedding plants, house plants, perennials, pots, soil, mulch, tools, fertilizer, pesticides and so forth, Andrew Freitag said.
About one-third of the existing hoop houses will be used to grow traditional greenhouse flowers, while two-thirds will be used for food production. That will mean spinach in winter and herbs and microgreens in the summer
