Jeff and Caitlin Rosenkrans weren t even looking to open a meat market.
But when the Seneca Falls couple stumbled across Indelicato s in Auburn, which closed its Columbus Street doors in May 2020 after 115 years in business, they saw a prime opportunity. The most intriguing thing about it was that it was turnkey, Jeff told The Citizen. It had a customer base, and it was something where we could pretty much just take our product into the cases there.
The Rosenkranses closed on the building with Matt Chalanick of The Real Estate Agency on Friday, and in mid-June, they will open Rosenkrans Local Market there.

Pompey, N.Y. Chefs from 10 local restaurants competed in a chili cookoff Saturday afternoon to raise money for restaurants that were forced to close last fall because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The sold-out Chillin In ‘Cuse Together raised $14,400 in ticket sales that will benefit restaurants that were in a designated Orange Zone.
No two chilis were alike, but they were all creative. One pot was loaded with grass-fed ground beef, another highlighted braised pork. Some had beans, some didn’t. Some were spicy, some were sweet.
