Update: (7/8/2007) The SJ-R featured Humphrey's Market in the July 5, 2007 edition of the Springfield Business News. Humphrey's is planning on opening a pizza restaurant at the former Mr. Fresh's on S. 15th street. I hear the scheduled date for the grand opening is in September.
Quote from the publication "Pizza will be made from scratch and cooked in stone ovens. The pizza recipe will be a "little bit Chicago, a little bit New York and a little us - Springfield" Henry Jr. explains. There will also be pasta, salad, sandwiches and dessert."

Looks great! The owners of Humphrey's Market are my grandparents. I'm going down there soon~ I hadn't seen the finished product of the new parking lot. Looks wonderful! (To the author: Thank you for typing up this page for them!)
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome! Glad you enjoyed the page and found it useful.
ReplyDeleteHope it draws more people to your store who didn't know about this wonderful resource. A missionary from Spain introduced me to the store some years ago. I'm so glad she did and now I'm passing along the favor to whoever visits this webpage.
Photographing those plants is really costing me :) Since I'm paying more attention to what is available there, I end up finding more flowers to buy than I had planned on.
Those flowers are beautiful.
I took more pics the other day. You're welcome to check this page again to see if they get added.
Can you share the story of where those metal sheets in the parking lot came from? I know there's an interesting story there.
Have a fantastic week!
Tell your grandparents that the SpringfieldPhotos website says Hi!
Iam also interested in why there are metal plates in the parking lot. My family have been shopping at Humphrey's Market since they first opened years ago.
