Tria Market, opened in April 2006, was a gourmet foods specialty store in Soho Square, Homewood. It was owned by local Piggly-Wiggly operators Naseem Ajlouny, Andy Virciglio, and Basim Ajlouny as "NAB City Market, Inc." Tria closed on April 14, 2009, and was expected to be replaced by a new restaurant spearheaded by George Sarris.
The store, which occupied 9,200 square feet, sold organic produce and meats, high-end grocery items, private-label foods, fine wines and fresh-baked good and prepared meals which could be taken home or eaten in the store's café. Additional features included "food seminars" on food preparation and products and a catering service.
Tria's executive chef, John Derrick, oversaw a staff of 20-25 food preparers who created the day's fresh offerings.
The Tria concept was expanded as a component of a new Piggly-Wiggly at the Riverview Center in Liberty Park.
