Cedric Martin, President & Owner of Martin Wine Cellar
“There are no words to express how excited I am to open those doors on Baronne Street again. This is where we started this company 68 years ago; it’s where I grew up; and it’s where my father taught me the ins and outs of this business. It’s a tradition. This is not only a special place for me, but also for my family, employees, our neighbors and customers, and the city. I want to thank them their support and look forward to seeing everyone at Martin’s Uptown.”David Gladden, CEO of Martin Wine Cellar
“I’m happy to finally be able to answer the question “When will you reopen Uptown” by saying…”Now!” I’d like to express special thanks to our extraordinarily loyal customers who have waited so long for this day to arrive. Also, we look forward to welcoming new customers who have not had the opportunity to shop with us. We have the finest products; a knowledgeable and friendly staff, delicious food, plenty of parking spaces and more seats in the Bistro-Deli. Come in for lunch or dinner and, just like the old days, I’m certain you’ll run in to many of your friends. See you soon at Martin’s on Baronne!”Pat Forbes, Executive Director of the Louisiana Office of Community Development
“The construction of the new Martin Wine Cellar in its original location is a testament to the Martin family’s spirit and to New Orleans’ resilience. Not only will the project return an old New Orleans business to its original location, but it will create jobs and spur economic development as the City continues to recover stronger than before.”
