BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — Bend’s newest neighborhood on the deep westside of the City is getting two more businesses: Put A Cork In It Wine Bar and Sparrow Mercado. It comes as the 245-acre Discovery West neighborhood continues to grow with homes, residents, and businesses.
Put A Cork In It! opened two days ago. Guests will be able to purchase hard-to-find regional wines from around the Pacific Northwest, available by the glass or the bottle, as well as charcuterie boards and other delicious bites. The atmosphere will be both elegant and welcoming. Put A Cork In It! will welcome guests Monday through Friday, 4-9 pm and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 10 pm.
Sparrow Mercado will be Sparrow Bakery’s second location in Bend and in addition to coffee, tea, and bakery items, will offer grab-and-go items such as lunches and after-school snacks. It will also sell popular grocery staples, beer, wine, canned cocktails, kombucha, and more. The shop will be open from 9 am to 4 pm all summer long, with extended hours beginning in September. Look for Sparrow Mercado to open sometime this week.
Romy Mortensen, Vice President, Marketing and Sales of Discovery West, said, “We are thrilled to have Put A Cork In It! and Sparrow Mercado open this summer. These two businesses will add welcoming gathering spaces and delicious offerings to the community, enhancing the neighborhood feel we set out to create when we envisioned what Discovery Corner would become.”
The new businesses will join five others located around the Discovery Corner Plaza including Harcourts the Garner Group, MCD Homes, Harper House Design, and Bluebird Skin Therapy + Aesthetics, and Aerie by AvantStay, luxury overnight vacation rentals. Anna Salon is set to open later this summer, and three retail spaces remain available for lease, and are listed through Compass Commercial.
