Formerly known as Denmarket Square, the newly remodeled and re-branded Founders Market is ready to welcome a dynamic mix of local artisans, culinary ventures, and boutique retailers. Anchored by the already successful CHOMP restaurant, The Coffee House by CHOMP, and The Santa Ynez Valley Creamery and production facility currently under construction.
Founders Market is located at the eastern gateway to downtown Solvang at the intersection of Mission Drive and Alisal Road, this thoughtfully revitalized center offers a rare opportunity to join a curated tenant community in one of California’s most charming and heavily visited destinations.
Other tenants include Standing Sun Wines & Tasting Room, The Giving Ink, Andrea’s Heart (custom jewelry store), and many second story vacation rentals and apartments.
Turn-key Retail Spaces | High-traffic Location:
· Well-configured, move-in ready spaces ideal for small specialty shops, services, and curated retail experiences.
· Strong foot traffic from both locals and tourists, updated infrastructure, and an inviting design that honors Solvang’s unique heritage, this is the perfect setting for businesses looking to be part of the town’s next great gathering place.
