A few days ago, August 7, 2021, we celebrated our 24th anniversary and the grand opening of Mercola Market & Café,1 a 15,000-square-foot retail space located at 125 S.W. 3rd Place in Cape Coral, by hosting the Inaugural Mid-Cape Summer Fest.2 As our Mercola market general manager, Patrick Rossi, told the Cape Coral Breeze:3

"Mercola has been around for 24 years, but our retail space is the new kid on the block, and we wanted to bring the residents of Cape Coral and the surrounding communities together to celebrate not only the legacy of Mercola but also the future — all while enjoying the final days of summer."

All the proceeds from the event went to the Cape Coral Animal Shelter. In addition to perusing our Market & Café, visitors were also treated to live music, a vintage car show, food trucks, arts and crafts, face painting, a petting zoo and hot air balloons.
