Kelsick Specialty Market moving within Gloucester C.H.

Kelsick Specialty Market on Gloucester’s Main Street is on the move, closing the doors of its current location in a few weeks to reopen a few buildings down.

Owner Paige Williams is excited about the move that will see the market reopen in the former location of Rev-It-Up, next to Courthouse Restaurant.

Williams said the move is a long-term investment in Kelsick. She said the new building offers almost double the space of the current location. She said the space and eventual ownership of the building will allow her to turn the market into what she’s always dreamed it to be.

Williams said the move is a sign of Kelsick’s success over the last few years. She said the community has really blessed her and the market with its support, allowing the business to grow.

At the new location, customers will be able to sit down for lunch while enjoying beer and wine, said Williams. She said she looks forward to being able to pour and talk with customers who come in for lunch or just for drinks. The experience is what she’s always wanted to offer and soon will be able to.

Williams said the new space will also have a new aesthetic. She said the new place will have more focus on seating and will have the space to better display local goods. She said the windows will be covered until then, so Kelsick customers will have to wait until the doors open to see the new look.

Kelsick shoppers have until Christmas Eve to stock up on their favorite locally sourced beers, wines and other goods. After Christmas Eve, the doors on the current location will close for good.

Williams said as they prepare to move, some products will see fewer restocks. She’ll try to sell as much stock as they can to aid in moving so she wants customers to be on the lookout for any potential sales.

Her hope is to be closed only for a month during the transition, but an official reopening date has yet to be set.

Kelsick, originally called Kelsick Gardens, first opened its doors in 1992 at 6606 Main Street (the current location of Amedisys Home Health Care). In 2009, the business relocated to its current location at 6632 Main Street.
