Five Corner Market Closed
Less than four months after opening, the Ballard gastropub calls it quits.
Word from the press release pile: Five Corner Market, which opened just this December in the former Lombardi’s space smack dab in the center of Ballard, closed on April 12.
Per the release: “Owner Steve Hayter said that the concept received an enthusiastic reception in Ballard, but there ultimately wasn’t enough patronage to sustain the business.”
The building, at the corner of 22nd Ave NW and NW Market Street, remains one of the best pieces of restaurant real estate anywhere in town as far as location is concerned—Lombardi’s had been in business for 23 years before it closed last fall.
