Your approach to perusing Plaza Midwood's edgy, local
ingredients-focused mainstay The Common Market will
probably depend on your hunger level. If you're bordering
on "hangry," you'll frst gravitate toward the sandwich
counter. There you'll fnd menu items with funky names
and fresh ingredients, like the Jack Kennedy Samich or
the Tree-Hugger Wrap.
Community is key at The Common Market, which operates
with a neighborhood, modern general store vibe and a
convenience store/deli setup. It's the kind of place where
residents pop in for everyday knickknacks and spirits
as needed. It has been named "One of Charlotte's Top
25 Places to Go" by The Charlotte Observer owing to its
convenience and eclectic charm.
Beyond the wide range of fresh deli sandwiches (or
samiches, as the menu dubs them) for which The
Common Market is famous, the shop carries everything
from offbeat greeting cards to retro candy, beer and wine,
and gluten-free snacks. It also offers catering services.
The Common Market is beloved for its weekly specials
and event offerings. On most Tuesday nights, the wine
tasting special gets you a fight and a $5 wine coupon, all
for just $5. And a free beer tasting special takes place on
most Wednesday nights.
