Old Town Market coming to Ridgeland

RIDGELAND – A new mixed-use marketplace with a gas station and convenience store, a drive-through restaurant, Subway, and office spaces is under construction here on West Jackson Street with an anticipated opening date of March 2022.

Rab Bedi, the owner and developer of the Old Town Marketplace project, said construction of the market began in January this year and is expected to be finished in March of next year.

“The second floor will have professional offices, and we’re looking for tenants such as lawyers and certified public accountants,” Bedi said. “Subway has already signed their lease, and they will take the east endcap. The Shell gas station will also be in the center of the market with a convenience store. 

“You can find your normal gas station convenience store items there, and it will also have a deli that serves breakfast and lunch.”

Badi said the plan to include charging stations for electric cars as part of the gas station. 

Alan Hart, director of community development for Ridgeland, said the marketplace is planned to have 3,000 square feet of drive-through space for the restaurant portion on the west endcap, 4,200 square feet of space for the Shell Station and convenience store in the middle, 1,400 square feet of space for the Subway in the east endcap, and 3,700 square feet of office space available on the second floor.

“This marketplace is being designed by Dean and Dean architects and it reflects some of the elements of the West Jackson Overlay District, which has some historic designs,” Hart said. 

“These designs also date back to 1992 when the Mayor and Board of Alderman adopted an ordinance to make a turn-of-the-century-design-styled building in the downtown community development.”

Hart said the area has since been named the Railroad District, and Old Town Market is being designed to fit the style. He said it helps create a transition into that district.

“We are excited to see how this market turns out and fits into Ridgeland,” Hart said.
