THE MARKET IS OPEN!
We want to extend a very special thanks this week to Liz and Stacy Underwood for hosting our Statesboro drive-through pickup at Uncle Shug’s on Main, allowing us the space and the infrastructure to expand and redefine our Market2Go operation. More than a host, Liz has worked every market shift in those ten weeks and added great ideas to the process. This coming week will be our 10th and last week at Uncle Shug’s, after which we will be moving to our own facility. (Stay tuned for more information!) Please add your thanks, and continue to support all of Uncle Shug’s local businesses.

Note that drive-through hours continue to be adjusted to reflect customer orders and choice of pickup locations. Watch for a Market UPDATE Wednesday night giving specific pickup times. Your attention to designated pickup times helps us make the process smooth and minimizes waiting for everyone.
We recommend that all customers bring cooler(s) or insulated bag(s) with cool packs inside to keep food fresh and safe, especially any meat, seafood or dairy items.
