LB Kitchen (website, instagram) owners Lee Farrington and Bryna Gootkind are opening their new business at Rock Row Health Campus this morning. The 600-square-foot market will be selling grab-and-go versions of their salads, soups, sandwiches, breakfast items, and house-made bottled beverages (see the full menu below). It will have an espresso bar serving coffee, functional lattes, tea, hot bone broth and house-made baked goods. The market also sells a wide selection of snacks, beverages, pantry staples and retail items from other producers.
The market is located alongside New England Cancer Specialists, the Dempsey Center and other medical care providers which together are intended to deliver a more holistic approach to patients.
Chef Farrington shared, “We are experts at creative workarounds and functional substitutions. We want all our customers, and the Rock Row Health Campus patients especially, who may feel limited by specific dietary needs or restrictions to feel hopeful and expansive when they choose LB. MINI-MART meals, snacks or treats. We’ve done the thinking to make alternative food options that taste and feel good.”
This is the first location for LB’s new Mini-Mart concept. Farrington and Gootkind are planning to launch additional outposts in the Greater Portland area—watch for details to be released later this year. The original LB Kitchen opened in 2017 and moved to the corner of Smith and Congress Streets in 2023.
Hours for the market are Monday through Friday, 7 am – 5 pm. Access to 11 Rock Row is from the Westbrook Arterial road rather than from Brighton Ave side of the property.
