BIG NEWS FROM CENTER CITY MARKET!
We are incredibly excited to announce that our final available food vendor space has officially been leased! Please help us welcome Cony’s Kitchen to Center City Market !
Cony’s Kitchen is a Guatemalan/Latin food restaurant that already has a strong local following, and a menu packed with authentic favorites. This will be their second location! From handmade tacos, pupusas and quesabirria to enchiladas, carne asada, burritos, tortas and traditional entrées, they are bringing an entirely new flavor to the Market.

This is especially exciting because it completes the vision we have been working toward — creating a downtown food destination filled with locally owned businesses offering completely different experiences under one roof.
With our newest vendors Mama Kay's Sweet Treats LLC and Tin Jar Desserts preparing to open and Cony’s Kitchen now officially joining the lineup, Center City Market is entering a whole new chapter. What started as a vision is becoming a diverse collection of food, desserts, specialty products and small businesses right here in Downtown Altoona.
There is still plenty of work happening behind the scenes, and we will share more about Cony’s Kitchen’s opening date and menu as everything comes together.
For now, help us give them a BIG Center City Market welcome! ❤️
WELCOME TO THE MARKET, CONY’S KITCHEN! 🇬🇹🎉

These gates won’t be closed much longer!
There’s something exciting about seeing new businesses take shape, and we couldn’t be happier to see new life being breathed into Center City Market !
Tin Jar Desserts and Mama Kay's Sweet Treats LLC are both putting the finishing touches on their spaces and are now awaiting their final health inspections. That means they are getting VERY close to welcoming you through these gates!
What were once empty storefronts are becoming locally owned businesses built by people who are taking a chance, chasing a dream, and investing right here in Downtown Altoona.
We know it has taken some time, but little by little, Center City Market is growing — and we’re excited for you to see what’s coming next.
Stay tuned for opening dates for both businesses. The gates are about to open! In the meantime make sure you like and follow their pages and share their posts!
