Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe will open its doors Saturday at 10 a.m. in Downtown Kirkwood, just in time to meet the needs of hungry Mayfest patrons.

Owner Nick Julian said he chose the location at Station Plaza (between Kaldi's and Pazzo's) because of the large amount of foot traffic it attracts.

"The biggest selling point was the patio out front," he said, noting that the close proximity to the Kirkwood Farmers' Market was also a plus. Julian also said he liked Kirkwood for its hometown feel. Read our Q&A with Julian about the Kirkwood Pickleman's.
