A multi-use development by a prominent developer made headlines multiple times this week, but what is it missing?

Nulu Marketplace, which is owned by developer Mo Deljoo, is home to a brewery, restaurants, retail establishments and even office space. Recently one of its retailers, Buff City Soap, closed its location, leaving the opportunity for something new.

We speculate on what the complex could use on the Access Louisville Podcast: perhaps another restaurant, new retail or a bodega.

West Sixth Nulu, the complex’s anchor tenant, recently announced it was adding food to its menu offerings. It will start by focusing on shareable items, including wings and tacos.

Cherry Pickin’, a cold press juice bar, will open in Nulu Marketplace at the end of April. The concept’s owners said juice bars were something missing in the area, and they hope to fill that void.

Beyond the Nulu area, we also discuss Lil Toasty’s, a second location for Toasty’s Tavern opening in the food truck at Gravely Brewing Co. The food truck was previously home to Mayan Street Food from the owners of Mayan Café.

Louisville also ranked in the top five metros for economic development, according to a site selection magazine. It ranked above the likes of Nashville, Tennessee; Charlotte, North Carolina; Indianapolis; and Columbus, Ohio.

We discuss all this and more on the Access Louisville Podcast.
