Curated Fare + A Cool Vibe

Grab a drink, share a joke, and shop local in this community-centered grocery.

Kelly’s Market provides exclusive specialty items in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. On a recent visit, one customer couldn’t help gushing to this writer, “My dog loves it here.” Common compliments include effusive remarks on the “vibe,” and it’s easy to see why: stepping into the store, fresh flowers and delicious smells greet you while music plays and warm lights bathe the decor. It’s the perfect place to shop for the holidays in serenity, and the wide assortment is a chef’s dream.

FAMILY-RUN

This fun-filled family business is run by father-son duo Sean and Tanner. They love the small-town feel of Decatur, where you can get to know your customers personally. After facing challenges upon first opening, Kelly’s Market is committed to collaborating with other local businesses to help the community continue to grow.

WINE TIME

A love of good wine inspires Sean to curate a selection of unique blends that punch above their weight. 

COME TOGETHER

Join in on the fun with monthly tastings and events! Try out specialty beers and wines, and keep your eye out for champagne nights. There are also sampling events for the deli-prepared meals, available in-store and ready to put in your oven. Find community and excite your taste buds every month.

FLOWER POWER

Candler Park Flowers has been a partner since the market’s inception in 2019, delivering fresh flowers multiple times a week. Grab a bouquet on your way out to brighten a loved one’s day.

THE NAMESAKE

Kelly’s Market is the namesake of the corner grocery store Sean’s maternal grandfather ran in southern California. In existence before his time, he grew up hearing about the small family business that was host to Hollywood actors, and it became the inspiration behind the present-day market’s evolution.

KELLY'S DELI

A sun-filled corner of the store called Kelly’s Deli serves delicious sandwiches made-to-order, most notably, “The Mulligan,” their most popular menu item. The deli uses fresh bread from Engleman’s Bakery and serves pastries from Alon’s Bakery. You can even order online for pickup and delivery! 

HOLIDAY SHOPPING SIMPLIFIED

Build the gift basket of your recipient’s dream with handpicked local products suited to their tastes and preferences. The exclusive retailer for Splash of Olive, a line of gourmet olive oils and vinegar, delivers a popular choice for baskets: the infused options promise to elevate any everyday meal. As always, the market’s personable team is on hand to help.

GET YOUR DRINK ON

Shop with a draft beer, latte, or glass of wine in hand, and find things you simply can’t find anywhere else. With a wide variety of local items and international imports, there is a libation for every taste (including non-alcoholic options!) Once you finish shopping, you can sit at one of the many indoor or outdoor bistro tables and enjoy the scene.
