Photo by Kevin StichCommunity Renaissance Market, an incubator for small businesses, closed its 6800 West Gate Blvd. location on Dec. 31.
Market CEO and Cultural Strategist Ruth Glendinning said the close was due to a lease issue with Albertsons, the master lease holder. Albertsons did not immediately respond for comment.
Glendinning plans to work on refining the vision of the small business incubator and hopes the market will re-emerge in another form in 2012.
"[The market] served as a great pilot project for CRM 2.0," she said.
