Wondering why the Market hours have changed and what the means? Check out the list of common questions below!

---

Why are you closed on Mondays now?

• We’ve made the decision to close on Mondays to give the local business owners at the market a well-deserved day off and to improve the overall market experience. Unlike big-box stores with rotating staff, our vendors are independently owned businesses. They’re often hands-on every day, managing their shops and serving customers. By closing on Mondays, we’re giving them a chance to recharge, so they can continue bringing you the best products and service throughout the rest of the week. Plus, this change allows us to focus on behind-the-scenes operations, ensuring the market runs smoothly and efficiently for both vendors and visitors. Based on the third party survey results, our new hours will also offer more evening shopping opportunities, making it even easier to stop by after work!

Can I still order or pick up items on Mondays?

• No, the market itself will be closed on Mondays, but some businesses (such as Waldo’s) will still be operating. We recommend contacting them directly for their specific hours and availability. Otherwise, we encourage you to plan ahead by visiting or placing orders during our regular hours from Tuesday to Sunday.

What about my morning coffee?

• Don't worry - Hasbeans, Market Cafe, and Mona's will be open at 8am Tuesday through Saturday so you can still get your morning coffee and breakfast! To access these two locations, please use the Talbot Street entrance (under the Market clock tower)

What if I have a question or need assistance on Monday/is the office open on Mondays?

• While the market itself is closed on Mondays, our office will be open from 9 AM to 5 PM. You’re welcome to call or reach out by email, and we’ll be happy to help.

Will special events still happen on Mondays?

• No, events and activities will be scheduled during our regular hours from Tuesday to Sunday.

Will the Farmers Market still start at 8am on Saturdays?

• Yes, the Farmers Market will still start at 8am! Our hope is the early morning shoppers can head down at their usual time, shop the farmers market first and then make their way inside at 9am to validate their parking passes and shop from the indoor vendors.

Event Rentals/Can I book the Kitchen or Lounge or the Mezzanine on Mondays?

• Yes, you can book the kitchen, lounge, or mezzanine on Mondays for private meetings or group gatherings. However, there will be no events in these spaces on Mondays as the market will be closed. To inquire about availability and details, please reach out to our office.

Will the parking lot still be open on Mondays?

• Yes! The parking lot is accessible 24/7, 365 days a year, so you can still park there on Mondays.

Will you ever go back to being open on Mondays?

• For now, the Monday closure is a permanent change. It allows the local business owners to have a much-needed day off, so they can keep offering you the best products and services throughout the rest of the week.

Why not just shorten the hours on Monday instead of closing?

• While shortening the hours on Monday was considered, closing for the full day gives the local business owners a proper break. Since they run their own shops, having one full day off makes a bigger difference for their work-life balance. In addition, results from a third-party survey conducted over the past year revealed that many of you prefer later shopping hours. With our new schedule, you can now shop after work from Tuesday to Saturday!

What about Customer Convenience?

• We absolutely value our customers, and your feedback from our recent survey! That’s why we’re open six days a week with extended hours from Tuesday to Sunday. The decision to close on Mondays was made with the long-term sustainability of our local businesses in mind. This change gives the local business owners a dedicated day to rest, which ultimately means they can continue offering great service the rest of the week.
