Building C becomes a destination marketplace composed of independent merchants offering unique, high quality selections of artisanal and regional foods and products.  The Marketplace continues the use of park-like exterior settings and includes an outdoor bar, pavilion, food trucks and direct connectivity to the City’s future planned hotel, convention center and housing outlined by the South Castell Visioning Plan.  This unique marketplace will blend retail and food concepts in a stylish indoor space designed to attract the growing number of consumers who are looking for an alternative to internet, mall and big box shipping experiences.  The pavilion will provide shade for special events and serve as an expanded venue for the decade old New Braunfels Farmers’ Market which brings hundreds of weekly visitors whose shopping preferences align with the interactive and social retail shopping experience envisioned for the Co-Op Marketplace.
