Saraga International Grocery plans to open a second Indianapolis location at the
corner of Madison Avenue and Stop 11 Road. The 15,000-square-foot market will replace a vacant former drug store, and is scheduled
to open in mid-March. Saraga sells food from all over Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, along with a variety
of produce and fresh fish. The existing location is along Lafayette Road south of 38th Street. - Monon Food Co., a homegrown fast-casual restaurant, is scheduled to open in mid-April next to Plump's Last Shot in Broad Ripple. The restaurant will take the former home of Hoghead's BBQ at 6420 Cornell Ave. Owner Tim Williams said the restaurant will serve "healthy comfort food" sourced locally whenever possible. Specialties will include fish tacos, burritos and skewer beef. Monon Food also will offer family carryout meals and healthy snacks for users of the Monon Trail.
- Martin Jay's Butcher Shop is planning to take 1,600 square feet near the intersection of State Road 32 and Little Chicago Road in Noblesville. The shop will move into space formerly occupied by a drycleaner in the same building as the Speedway gas station at 17647 Little Chicago Road.
- Los Toros Mexican Restaurant is planning a new location near 146th Street and Gray Road in Westfield. The restaurant, which already has a location in Brownsburg, will take about 4,400 square feet in Bridgewater Marketplace.
- Puerto Vallarta, a Mexican restaurant and cantina, plans a new location at the corner of Main Street and Emerson Avenue in Greenwood. The chain, which will take about 3,600 square feet, already has a restaurant at 5510 Lafayette Road and others in New Albany and Jeffersonville.

I wish that the Hacienda restaurant chain from Northern Indiana would move down here.
I wish they would expand into a Jungle Jims International Market in Cincy. Incredible selection of food from all over the world. A truly incredible place for Foodies.
La Hacienda seems to be a local chain, but it's not related to the Northern Indiana ones.
Has any body heard anything else about the closed Sunflower Market in broadripple being considered for anything? I heard a Japanese restaurant was looking at the space.
French Pharmacie has closed in broadripple.

I recently came across your post and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that it caught my interest and you've provided informative points. I will visit this blog often.
Thank you,
