RED BANK -- Anderson Market, the new gourmet market coming to Monmouth Street in Red Bank, has added a butcher and a florist to its roster and plans to open in early September.
The Butcher and the Bull, which has a shop in Point Pleasant Beach, and Fleur de Mer, an Ocean Township florist, have signed up with Anderson Market, a new venture from Culture Collective. The Asbury Park-based hospitality group runs Reyla, Laylow and Barrio Costero.
Anderson Market will open on Sept. 8. The 8,000-square-foot first-floor space anchors the Anderson Building, the now-remodeled former Anderson Moving & Storage at the corner of Monmouth Street and N. Bridge Avenue on Red Bank's west side. Sickles, its former tenant, abruptly closed its grocery store in 2024.
"I'm super excited for the group of people that we're bringing together alongside the design," said Chris Viola, chief development officer and founder of Culture Collective. "The building has really come together. I think it's going to be a pretty special place for people."
The Butcher and the Bull and Fleur de Mer will join Namkeen, the Nashville-style hot chicken hot spot; Nick + Sons Bakery, which started in Brooklyn and now has a store in Spring Lake too; Molly Boards, a charcuterie and cheese shop in Point Pleasant Beach; Booskerdoo Coffee and Baking Co.; and Local 130 Seafood, a fresh seafood purveyor in Asbury Park, Viola said.
Culture Collective will operate a gourmet market, a noodle and dumpling restaurant and a salad restaurant. A second phase will bring a lounge area, a cocktail bar and an experience space for events such as pasta- or sushi-making classes.
Fleur de Mer will bring arrangements, bouquets and fresh cut flowers as well as gifts, such as candles and baby gifts, to Anderson Market.
"From the moment we opened our Ocean location, community has always been at the forefront of our business model," said Michelle Costa, co-owner of Fleur de Mer with her sister Emily Costa. "You need to be creative and curate and bring people together, and that is exactly what Anderson Market is."
