To celebrate its re-opening , MM will be hosting an official launch event on Thursday 14th September , offering local residents the chance to come along and enjoy a taste of each of the new trading partners .
Andrea Rasca , CEO and Founder of sustainable food market MM , said : “ We are immensely proud to be reimagining our MMy Elephant Park site , bringing six new trading partners to the area for local communities to have access to good , healthy and affordable food .
“ Through our MMovement , our mission is to build more inclusive communities and sustainable local food systems . We want to bring together individuals , groups and organisations who share our goal of improving access to nutritious food for everyone , along with other philanthropic and social activities that make a positive impact on people ’ s lives and the planet .
“ We are so committed to driving forward our collective MMovement through all of our MM markets , and I can ’ t wait to see what the future has in store for this second Elephant & Castle market .”
You can find MMy Elephant Park at 1 Walworth Square , London , SE17 1GA . is located close to outdoor space and playgrounds , offering a wonderful central hub for families and local residents .
The development of the MMy Elephant Park site is a symbol of MM ’ s commitment to driving forward its MMovement – centred around community inclusion , seasonal produce , nutritious food , and the preservation of the environment .
MMy is reminiscent of the time when Andrea Rasca , Mercato Metropolitano ’ s founder and CEO , spent in Japan , where limited space and local community needs led to neighbourhood dependency on convenience corner stores . The format has been further developed in London by Rasca and the same team behind the success of the other MM markets based on the understanding that each local community needs a centre of aggregation around food , social values and shared experience , where the elements of inclusiveness , sustainability and healthy lifestyle remain at the core of the offer .
