Copper Cellar Marketplace: Meal Time Made Easy

Work, school, sports, activities, repeat! Family life is busy life and getting a quality homemade meal on the table can be impossible at times. But what if mealtime could be easy? Enter Copper Cellar Marketplace.  If you live in East Tennessee, chances are you’ve dined at one of the Copper Cellar family’s seven restaurant concepts.  There are many locations both locally and in the Smoky Mountains. The Marketplace is its newest venture.  Knoxville Moms had the chance to see (and taste!) everything Copper Cellar Marketplace has to offer.

Grab & Go Meals

Grab and go meals aren’t a new concept but Copper Cellar Marketplace is doing it differently and better! Each of the meals is prepared daily with the freshest ingredients.  Many of those meals will look familiar to diners who visit Copper Cellar restaurants like the chicken parmesan, Ale Steak Sirloin and the popular Spinach Maria. Each of the prepared meals is available in different quantities to feed two people, a family of four or a crowd of up to 20. Most can easily be popped in the oven so you can get dinner on the table fast. Soups, salads and side dishes are available for a light dinner or lunch fare. 

If you prefer your own preparations, you can pick up cuts of meat and seafood. Since there is a high volume of meat and seafood served daily at Copper Cellar restaurants and the Marketplace, each day your meat is being freshly cut and a new seafood truck is rolling in from the coast. Did we mention the to-die-for desserts? The main Copper Cellar bakery is crafting them each day. Trust us, the macadamia banana pudding doesn’t need a special occasion to be enjoyed! Gourmet ingredients line the shelves as well as fresh produce to make Copper Cellar Marketplace a one-stop-shop. Many of those items are sourced locally including eggs, cheese, milk and more.  Prices are reasonable too. For example, a dozen farm-fresh eggs is $3.99. You may be surprised to learn Copper Cellar Marketplace even has breakfast items including ooey-gooey cinnamon rolls and a casserole fit for guests. 

Party Ready

Speaking of guests, spring is a season with lots of celebrations from Easter to Mother’s Day to graduations. Copper Cellar Marketplace can take the stress out of those holiday meals.  The “Spring Eats” menu just released has nearly 50 offerings. Since those meals come in larger quantities, you do have to call in advance to place your order. While picking up for your feast, you can also grab party essentials like festive napkins, plates, table décor, candles and more. 

Gifting Gets Easy Too

Need a last-minute gift? You can easily fill a basket for the foodie in your life. Knoxville Moms loved the idea of picking up a prepared meal as a new baby gift or to give a family dealing with sickness. Copper Cellar gift cards can even be used at the Marketplace so you can give people the option to pick out a meal they’ll be sure to enjoy. Copper Cellar Marketplace surprised the Knoxville Moms attendees with gift cards to do some shopping for our own families. So what did everyone come home with?
