A beloved, local, family-owned business will soon serve fresh meals directly to Carnegie Mellon University students. CMU chose Salem’s Market and Grill to operate Scotty’s Market, described in a press release as the "first campus grocery store located in the new Forbes Beeler Apartments." Salem's will oversee the new 5,000-square-foot market and serve a "vast selection of international and conventional groceries, fresh custom-cut meats, and a delicious menu of halal, international, and grilled dishes." The announcement is viewed as a sort of homecoming for Salem's, which originally opened in Oakland but moved to the Strip District. Set to open in August, Scotty’s Market will be open seven days a week to the "CMU community and the general public."
