Dottie's Market in Downtown Savannah to close its doors
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Dottie's Market Savannah, a new relatively new face to the Broughton Street dining scene, will soon shutter its doors.
According to an Instagram post from Monday, Dottie's announced that they would close their location on Broughton.
'After careful consideration, we've made the decision to close our Broughton Street location. While this chapter is coming to a close, we're filled with gratitude for the love, support, and encouragement we've received from this special city and it's lovely visitors.'
Dottie's attracted national attention after serving a high-profile customer. In Aug. 2024, then-Vice President (VP) Kamala Harris paid a visit to the market, joined with Savannah Mayor Van Johnson and former Georgia Democratic Party Chairwoman and Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05), during her two-day visit to the Hostess City amid her bid for the Presidency in the 2024 United States General Election.
The visit also included a viral meme of the former VP's delight at one of the store's caramel chocolate cakes.
Dottie's opened in 2023 and offered an array of lunch and desserts. Their operation has been described as 'part lunch table, part grab and go outpost.'
Though the market is closing, they indicated on Instagram that this may not be their final chapter.
'We remain deeply committed to Dottie's future,' the market wrote on Facebook. 'We look forward to sharing more soon and can't wait to welcome you back when the time is right.'
