Our Market in a Landmark Building

---

 A NEW CHAPTER! with business as usual. This week you will see a "For Sale" sign go up on the Port Stanley Fire Hall Market - but that is the only change that is happening. Our eight wonderful business vendors will be open 6 days a week from 10-5pm Wednesday thru to Monday to serve you as they always have.

Just over five years ago, the fire rescue building in the Village of Port Stanley was put up for sale by the Municipality of Central Elgin. Two couples came together with an idea to re-purpose the space to offer new food, beverage and services to their growing community and support the local economy. Their vision was to re-develop the existing building into a year-round European inspired market to compliment the historic attributes of their Village. This vision was to offer local artisan products from businesses including a butcher, a baker, a florist & maybe even a candlestick maker;) The market owners are very pleased that this vision has come to fruition with business minded market vendors who have built community connections with fun events.

The market owners had a timeline to get the building upgraded and occupied with a market family in a 3-5 year timeframe, at which time they would sell the market and enjoy retirement. Well that time has come, and they look forward to finding a buyer/s who share in their vision and will continue to operate the market as a successful community gathering place and preserve the spirit of collaboration that makes this space so special within the Village, Elgin County and a destination in southwestern Ontario.

The Fire Hall Market owners are thankful of the supportive business community within the market and within the Village of Port Stanley, for the support of friends and family (our Port Family) and for the continued support of customers. See you at the market!
