The founder of a business that hosts oyster- and caviar-based popup events is going to be opening a brick-and-mortar neighborhood market.
According to an article from Eater Boston, Alexis Cervasio of East Boston Oysters is planning to open EBO & Co. Grocery at an undisclosed location in Eastie, with the store carrying everyday items along with oysters, caviar, sake, cheese, coffee, produce, natural wines, and more. In the article, Cervasio says that "Our entire mission is to make things like oysters and caviar more approachable, so I think it will be fun to have some old-timers in there trying caviar for maybe the first time....The timing feels right personally, and I know that the neighborhood is ready for it."
A fundraising page for EBO & Co. Grocery can be found at https://www.numarket.co/ebo (the $30,000 goal was met in two days) while the website for East Boston Oysters is at https://www.eastbostonoysters.com/
[December 7 update: Eater Boston states that EBO & Co. Grocery is now open at 110 Meridian Street.]
