Wishing them success and hopefully the situation improves throughout the year, although I think some of these vendors are correct that things will not really be back to where they should be until 2022. For much of last year the city has allowed far too many homeless people congregate and it makes a lot of people feel unsafe, and changing that has to be a major public safety priority.
The City Market has been challenged for years, though flush and uneven economies, numerous renovations, and even a boom in downtown residential construction, homeless persons and civil unrest notwithstanding.
But the overall City Market experience simply hasn’t commanded the draw or customer spend necessary for sustainability. The vendor mix and their price points aren’t unreasonable in my view but with a finite lunch daypart and stiff competition there are newer/more comfortable places to eat, meet, and people watch. It must be frustrating for them.
I’d add a full bar in addition to the Tap Room and consider leveraging the Catacombs into a unique dining/drinking/entertainment venue for starters. Other than that I have no answers.
What Mark said
Despite a lot of effort, the Market is still primarily a lunch spot for office workers. Or the businesses do a significant amount of wholesale or catering and their walk-up traffic is just a bonus. There’s really no reason to go there on your own. And on weekends? the market is largely dead, with most vendors not even open. Understandably so since there isn’t much going on in that part of downtown
I see Mr Haddox is a South Park fan. Well played sir.
