Starting in April, shoppers will be able to spend a little bit more time at The North Market with expanded hours throughout the week. The market will remain open until 7pm on Saturdays and Monday will no longer be an “optional” day for merchants, which in the past has meant a partially-open scenario where half the vendors remained closed.
“When I opened 25 years ago we were a three day per week market in a somewhat desolate area of the city,” said Market Blooms owner Marty McGreevy. “Times have changed and our city has cherished and preserved this treasure. Providing additional service to Columbus and its guests is a responsibility and privilege of all North Market Merchants.”
Beginning on April 1st, the North Market will officially be open Sunday and Monday from 10am to 5pm and Tuesday through Saturday from 9am to 7pm. North Market Executive Director Rick Harrison Wolfe says that the expansion of building hours has long been something requested by shoppers.
To encourage customers to visit the North Market on Mondays, a special promotion for an hour of free parking will be honored throughout the month of April with validation of your parking pass at any merchant booth inside the building. Specific merchants are planning to offer Monday-only specials throughout the month as well.
