The Common Market's do-it-all neighborhood store opening in Durham

• For the past year, the restaurant has been renovating the space, formerly home to Democracy North Carolina, just off Durham's popular Ninth Street area.

State of play: This will be the first Common Market location outside the Charlotte region.

• Graham Worth, the restaurant's owner and a Raleigh native, said the goal is for the Durham location to adopt the feeling and tastes of its new neighborhood — just like how the four existing Common Market all sell different items.

What they're saying: "We're stocking the shelves, but we have no idea how this neighborhood is gonna utilize us as a business," Worth told Axios.

• "For the first three to six months, we basically build out what we think they'll buy — and then we just start adjusting to how they're going to utilize this space."

Details: Already, the Common Market — which Worth calls a community living room — is taking on some very Durham-specific characteristics.

• Local ice cream shop The Parlour is opening a window for ice cream scoops in the shop.

• And Mid Bloom Coffee —  a new coffee venture from Casey Lunceford Blivin, formerly of Joe Van Gogh — will open a space inside.
• Worth said there is still more space inside for local entrepreneurs to try pop-ups as well.

What's we're watching: Worth said it's too early to say if the Durham location will be the first of several in the Triangle.

• "I would love to be in Raleigh at some point," he said. "I think it's a concept that could do well there but you know, honestly, we don't know."
