Get Out of Town | Reading Terminal Market | Episode 7

LAUREN: Thank you.

LAURITA: So many choices.

LAUREN: I don't know where to go first.

Okay, this way or that way?

LAYLA: Reading Terminal Market is a public market in Philadelphia.

We started out mainly as a farmers market 130 years ago.

Today you're looking at a market with about 80 businesses, they're still all mom and pop owned businesses, some of them have been here for generations.

We'll never have a franchise in this building, and that's a really important point is when you're supporting a business in the market, you're supporting a small family owned business.

You can walk in here go to 16 different merchants and get some of the best quality produce, meat, cheeses, and it sets a tone that that is really where we should be spending our money and putting our focus is on our locals.

We're a representation of everything that Philadelphia has to offer, and I mean that truly in the food and in the people that are in this building.

LAUREN: We're at Reading Terminal Market right now.

LAURITA: We love a good juice.

LAUREN: Ginger, lemon, honey, cayenne... LAURITA: Delicious!

LAYLA: Philadelphians do take great pride in Reading Terminal Market, whether it's history, food, people, this is a great space to be.

LAURITA: I wonder if I should have gotten a cookie, just 'cause I... LAUREN: Okay we will definitely have to come back.

LAURITA: Oh.
