The place has turned into a running joke with the WNY food community. Last year I came to the Market and was going to speak with the manager about selling organic foods on the weekends as a way to expand the business we do at the downtown and North Tonawanda markets. I walked in to the office of the place and three people were smoking in the office. I turned around and walked out without speaking to anybody.

That’s good business isn’t it?

Like Marlies Wesolowski stated,
the market has to change with the neighborhood and city and become more multicultural. There should be stands selling Arabic, Vietnamese, Puerto Rican food and wares in addition to the Polish and couple of African American-run stands.
In my view, this is the only way for the market to survive.
The market board could use some diversity to help accomplish this goal.
Successful markets in other cities have more diversity and that in part helps to attract a larger customer base.

The worst idea was turning it into a factory outlet for cheap clothing which is why Rep. Slaughter diverted promised funds elsewhere

Market management won’t let new places open if they sell competing items. That does not make sense at all. Competition drives better business practices.

The refernces made to the neighborhood by management too in the article are way off the mark. I live in the neighborhood. I am somebody left. There are a lot of people left here. That is sort of insulting. Maybe if they ran the place better the people who are left would shop there more.

It looks like it is time for a change.
