Our newest Food & Beverage concept - In the Nood

🚨WE’RE OUT OF OUR TASTEFUL NOODS🚨

Y’all absolutely slurped us dry this week and we couldn’t be more grateful. Seriously, our hearts (and noodle pots) are FULL. We’ve been blown away by the love, the hype, and the sheer volume of noods you all came through for.

Our maker of the noods is catching their breath and getting back to the bench first thing in the morning to make some fresh ones. We’ll be restocked, recharged, and ready to reveal all the noods on Tuesday.

Until then, go have a beautiful, nood-less Sunday. We love y’all big!

🖤 The In the Nood Team

PRAYERS & SUPPORT NEEDED ‼️

On January 8th, we discovered that the home of Nelson Marsh, Mary Katherine Marsh, and Lily Marsh, Wyatt Dean and Rebekah Dean, Jonny Whyte and Hannah Leigh Whyte, and Renae Roach was on fire.

All of these people are young ambitious Opelikans. Nelson and Mary Katherine have just opened Piedmont on Piedmont, Hannah is an anchor of Side Track Coffee and Johnny an anchor of the O Grows Community Garden and Wyatt and Becky are in the process of opening a ramen shop on 10th street.

After this devastating tragedy, these incredible individuals and their families are left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Starting over is never easy, especially as couples and families who have poured their hearts into building something meaningful for our town.

A GoFundMe page has been created to support them as they rebuild their lives. https://www.gofundme.com/f/rebuild-lives-aid-for-opelika-fire-victims?attribution_id=sl:c310e9ae-f8fc-4669-8dd1-148264f63d5e&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link

Please consider helping by sharing this post and contributing to the GoFundMe if you're able. Every little bit counts, and together, we can help them get back on their feet.

Above all, please keep Nelson, Mary Katherine, Lily, Hannah, Johnny, Wyatt, Becky, and Renae in your prayers during this challenging time. Let’s rally around them with the love and support they so deeply deserve. 🙏

Hey there - my name is Garrison Snelling. My family and I live in the So… Garrison Snelling needs your support for Rebuild Lives: Aid for Opelika Fire Victims

Piedmont on Piedmont is more than a wine bar—it’s a love letter to Piemonte, Italy, woven with the warmth of Southern hospitality. 🍷 Nestled in Opelika, we’re bringing the incredible diversity of Piedmont’s wines to Alabama, pairing each sip with flavors crafted to complement and celebrate the wine itself. From bold Barolos to crisp Arneis, our hand-selected bottles embody the rich heritage of Italian winemaking, while our Southern-inspired bites elevate each taste.

This is a place where wine takes the spotlight, and every bottle tells a story of Piedmont's rolling hills and artisanal passion. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or new to the journey, we invite you to linger, sip, and savor. Here, Southern charm meets Italian tradition, creating a truly unique experience. 🍇

When designing Piedmont on Piedmont, we wanted our guests to have as much fun in the space as we did designing it. We're so excited to welcome you all SO soon! ✨

MEET OUR PEOPLE! 🗣🙌

Say hello to John Marsh, one of the visionaries behind Marsh Collective! Over the past 25 years, John and his wife, Ash, have helped launch 60+ startups in industries like hospitality, construction, real estate investing, and restaurants. But their real passion? Breathing life back into small towns—starting with their own! They’ve renovated over 280 buildings within ten blocks of downtown Opelika, all to save their city’s heart and soul.

These days, John is focused on making a generational impact by connecting people with big dreams to practical solutions—bridging the gap between vision, financial sustainability, and what we call "Irreplaceable Real Estate."

When he’s not revitalizing communities, you’ll find him diving deep into statistics, overcomplicating his smoothies, and being an ENFP 3 through and through. Oh, and he’s also proud to be a granddad, sharing life with his sons and grandkids in Opelika.

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes stories from the people who make Marsh Collective thrive!
