On Thursday The Forks Market unveiled its wine and craft beer kiosk.
The centre court and atrium now have new tables, chairs, and lighting fixtures. Along with offering beer and wine, The Forks also has two new food stands: Simon's Cuisine which offers Argentinian dishes and Fusian Sushi.

The Forks is still looking for three additional food vendors to open up in the renovated space and a tenant to run a micro-brewery. Once it opens, a spokesperson said the new kiosk will serve beer from the micro-brewery.

Summer hours for the wine and beer kiosk begin Thursday, June 16, and are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Saturday to Wednesday, and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday and Friday.
