George Georgiadis has welcomed the opportunity for Never Never Distilling Co. to join the first wave of traders in the major expansion of the Adelaide Central Market.
The McLaren Vale-based gin producer will open a new bar, dining and retail space in the redeveloped precinct as part of a $400 million project set to double the market’s size with additional stalls, food kiosks and larger retail and dining areas along Gouger and Grote streets.
Georgiadis said the company “jumped at the chance” to be part of the expansion.
“We’re creating a space where people can settle in for a drink, try something new and soak up the atmosphere of the market,” he said.
Construction on the redevelopment is well underway ahead of its expected opening later this year. The project will introduce a mix of new traders, including Adelaide Hills chocolatier Red Cacao, Banana Boogie Bakery, Rohde Egg Co. and Madam Seafood, all opening their first CBD locations.
Sushi Train will also return to the market more than four years after closing its Gouger Street restaurant, joining other new offerings including Mexican venue Juan’s Torta Cantina and Japanese café Yuku Do.
The long-running The Honey Shoppe will open a new-look store in the expanded precinct, while homewares retailer Geranium Shop is also among the 10 traders secured so far.
The expanded Adelaide Central Market precinct is expected to open towards the end of 2026.
