A Vision Come to Life
When Drew Parker, co-founder of The Commons, reflects on these five years, you can almost see the pride shining in his eyes. “Five years ago, we envisioned creating a vibrant community hub showcasing Greenville’s culinary talent,” said Parker. He went on to express gratitude, saying, “Today, The Commons stands as a testament to that vision and our community’s incredible support. We’re proud of what we’ve built together and are excited for the future.”
New Adventures Ahead
In an exciting turn of events, a majority stake in The Commons was recently purchased by Aston, the firm behind popular locations like North Hills Shopping Center and Verdae Village.
