Reflecting on Five Years of Flavor
The Commons has journeyed quite a path since it first opened its doors back in 2019. At the time, the Unity Park was still a work in progress. Drew Parker, co-founder of The Commons, shared a heartfelt message: “Five years ago, we envisioned creating a vibrant community hub showcasing Greenville’s culinary talent. Today, The Commons stands as a testament to that vision and our community’s incredible support. We’re proud of what we’ve built together and are excited for the future.”
Changes Ahead with New Ownership
A lot can happen in five years, and The Commons has some exciting news to share! In September, a majority stake in The Commons was purchased by Aston, the company behind venues like North Hills Shopping Center, Verdae Village, McBee Station, McDaniel Village, and Powdersville Plaza. It seems the sky’s the limit for The Commons!
Join the Celebration!
As The Commons gears up for this milestone anniversary, it promises to be an event filled with laughter, joy, and of course, delicious food. So gather your friends, family, and appetite, and prepare to celebrate five years of culinary delight right here in our beloved Greenville!
