Chapel Hill Alumni & Historians on Murder Mart History-The Daily Tar Heel
Memories of Key Food Mart ("Murder Mart")/Avalon/Gotham
Hi! I'm an editor at The Daily Tar Heel currently working on a piece about Key Food Mart (nicknamed "Murder Mart" by virtually everyone nowadays). Do any older alumni (classes of the late 90s/early 2000s) or Chapel Hill historians remember how and when it got its name? I've heard it's because of an incident that occurred in the parking lot of now-closed bar Avalon (formerly Gotham), but I'd love to chat further about the history and legend of Murder Mart!
Also, if anyone happens to know the owner of the mart or the owner of Gotham/Avalon OR the owner of either property, let me know! I'm trying to make this piece as in-depth as possible.
Email me [email redacted] reply here and we can talk further!!!
