Milly’s Market (@millysmarketme) is scheduled to Milly’s Market (@millysmarketme) is scheduled to open for business on Tuesday at 8 am. It’s located on the first floor of the Casco Building at the corner of Federal and Temple Streets. Owner Matt Manson and his team are stocking the shelves with produce, beer and wine, personal care products, home goods, and foods from Maine producers like flour from Maine Grains, Fox Family potato chips, Atwood Farm salsas, Butting Heads Farm relishes and Amolitta pasta. Milly’s will also sell house-made cookies, muffins, scones, and other baked goods. Additionally the market will have grab-and-go options like salads, wraps, cut fruit and pasta salads and snacks. Manson’s store in Auburn sells produce and local foods from dozens of Maine farms and food producers. He is drawing on that network in stocking the shelves at Milly’s Market and anticipates adapting what they offer as he becomes more familiar with the needs of his Portland customers. The name of the market is a blending of Manson's two children's names: Madison and Billy. Milly’s will be open Tuesday through Thursday, 8 am – 7 pm, Friday/Saturday, 8 am – 9 pm, and on Sunday, 9 am – 5 pm. #mainefood #portlandmaine #millysmarket

Michael and Siobhán Sindoni, the owners of Waysid Michael and Siobhán Sindoni, the owners of Wayside Tavern, along with chef Rian Wyllie have leased the former Bao Bao space at 133 Spring Street where they plan to open Gill’s Bar (@gillsbar). Their vision for Gill’s is as a neighborhood bar serving classic cocktails, a mix of local and European beers, and wine with a food menu of “updated bar classics” like patty melts, stuffed clams and chopped Italian subs. Renovations of the 2,002 sq ft are underway. The overall layout of the room will stay the same with a bar along the right-hand side of the room. Gill’s is expected to seat ~45 wit a mix of booth and high top tables filling in the remainder of the dining room. The team is working with Molly Miller from Meter Haus on the design of Gill’s. Miller was also the designer of Wayside Tavern. Lynn Stout, who had previously worked at Wayside, will be the front of house manager. Wyllie has been a chef and restaurateur in Maine and Massachusetts. Most recently he was the chef and a cofounder of Lenora. The team hopes to open Gill’s in late August or mid September, and when they do the hours will be Thursday through Monday opening at 4 pm. The bar is named after Gill’s Handy Store which operated at 133 Spring Street in the mid 20th century. #mainefood #mainebar #gillsbar #portlandmaine #comingsoon2025
Chayuda Yeamsiriwut has leased the former BenReube Chayuda Yeamsiriwut has leased the former BenReuben’s space at 145 Ocean Street in Knightville where she plans to launch The Streetwich (@thestreetwich), a breakfast and lunch spot serving sandwiches, boba tea, light snacks and some sweet treats. “The Streetwich started as a small dream rooted in my love for casual street food and cozy cafés. I wanted to create a space that feels warm, a bit playful, and welcoming — the kind of place where you might pop in for a quick bite, but end up coming back just because it feels good to be there.” The menu is still under development but is expected to include options like a spicy krapow basil chicken sandwich, bánh mì, as well as some classic breakfast options. Yeamsiriwut shared that the menu will draw from Thai flavors and street food energy that are reimagined in “a more playful, approachable way”. While primarily serving food to-go, The Streetwich will have a couple table to enjoy food and drink on-site. Yeamsiriwut hopes to launch The Streetwich later this summer. #mainefood #southportlandmaine #knightvillesouthportland #thestreetwich #comingsoon2025
