Third Space Market, a specialty store offering food and gift items along with community gathering and co-working space, launched in Gorham Tuesday . The 1,100-square-foot space, at 18 Elm St., was formerly Carter’s Greenmarket.
Staffer Tristan Littlefield, whose wife, Michelle, is the owner, said about half the venue is being used for retail. The other half seats up to 20 people at small cafe tables, couches, upholstered chairs and also desks, for anyone using the space for remote work.

They hope the market can also host small event gatherings like book clubs and gaming groups. The retail portion of the market offers a selection of mostly locally sourced food and beverages, including soda, kombucha, teas from Sweet Relief Farm in Standish, coffee from Carrabassett Coffee Company in Kingfield and Coffee Hound Coffee Co. in Brewer and grab-and-go sandwiches and salads from Chefette Toni.
Third Space Market stocks a selection of locally produced pantry goods including syrups, jams and jellies, pasta, hot sauces, MoMunch granola from Gorham and lava cake mixes from Jarva Cake in Kennebunk. The market also sells gifts such as toys, stuffed animals, jewelry, candles, bath and body goods, t-shirts, hats and bags. The store is open Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday from 10 a.
