The spin-off benefits of markets are numerous.

From increasing access to fresh, healthy food to

providing important revenue streams, markets positively impact local businesses, governments and
residents. But, perhaps most important is the way markets serve as public gathering places for people
from different ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic communities. As one of the few places where people
comfortably gather and meet, markets are our neighborhoods’ original civic centers.

Public Markets Provide Economkc Activities since ,it is ultimate small business incubator. From your
casual, one-day a week flea market vendor to your serious, seven-day a week market hall vendor, public
markets are wonderful places for people - especially minorities, immigrants and women - to grow a
business.

Typically, markets work as entry points for new entrepreneurs because they are relatively inexpensive to
start and operate. Vendors often only have to invest in minimal stall infrastructure which requires fewer
resources and risk than building up a stand-alone business. In fact, PPS’ Ford Foundation research
showed that most market vendors start their businesses using their own money.

Self-motivation, energy and commitment have fueled market vendors for centuries.
