What's new at Reading Terminal Market
Reading Terminal Market might look a little different next time you're there.
Why it matters: The 132-year-old public marketplace is regularly updating its offerings to bring Philadelphians something new.
State of play: The market recently added two restaurants: Uncle Gus' Steaks and Bao & Bun Studio.
Plus, it'll welcome a Lancaster County-based fresh produce vendor this spring, possibly as early as April, per Billy Penn.
The intrigue: Reading Terminal Market is extending a day cart program, which typically runs from October to December.
It allows small vendors to set up inside the marketplace for days or weeks — and has served as a pathway for some businesses to become full-time vendors.
What we're watching: The market plans to launch initiatives, including opening an outdoor space on Filbert Street and adding flourishes to maintain its historic aura, as part of a five-year growth and sustainability plan, per Billy Penn.
