I was asked to cover the opening for work, so I figured if I was going to be there, I might as well get a free shirt out of it.

Mayflower - The Encore is ‘a little dash of Las Vegas in downtown Troy’
When Wes Martin purchased “The Mayflower,” an iconic building in downtown Troy in 2022, he knew he wanted it to be a space for entertainment and community engagement.
“We want to be like a little dash of Las Vegas in downtown Troy,” Martin said. “We want them to come in and have fun and kind of have that out of town experience right in their backyard.”
Martin is the owner of Busted Brick Realty, LLC and Village Vantage. Under the umbrella of Village Vantage, Martin and his partners own and operate the venue as of Jan. 1. He previously was the landlord.
“Probably the biggest change is we’ve really been working on approachability,” Martin said. “I wanted anybody to be able to walk in the door and feel welcome.”
For those that are familiar with the Mayflower, Provisions Co., a gift shop located next door at 11 W. Main St., has been rebranded to Troy Provisions.
Customers can expect a collection of products made by local purveyors and artists. From local honey, maple syrup and sourdough to apparel, jewelry and candles, customers can find a little bit of everything. The shop even has some flair from Italy.
“It’s sort of a ghost kitchen model where we are utilizing the full commercial kitchen for the Mayflower, but during lunch hours,” said Jess Nielsen, vice president of design and experience at the Mayflower.
