Become a merchant at one of America’s largest and oldest indoor public markets! 

We now have available the Turnkey Space. For more information, visit our site at https://readingterminalmarket.org/turnkey-space-now-available/.

Thank you for your interest in joining the Reading Terminal Market community.

All applications for space are welcome, but please understand that specialty food businesses that appeal to local shoppers are favored. Reading Terminal Market is especially interested in expanding our global/ethnic groceries, spices, produce and dry goods, although other concepts will be considered. The process of leasing commercial space is very competitive. Available spaces are open until filled with a qualified applicant.

At this time Reading Terminal Market Corporation (RTMC) is unlikely to pursue applications for:

  • jewelry, crafts, clothing and other non-food items
  • personal services
  • souvenirs, tee shirt, or sweatshirt stores

Submitting an application is the first step in a multi- step process, and is not a guarantee that you will be offered use of a commercial space. Final approval must come from RTMC Management, and the Philadelphia Historical Commission.

Please be aware that the entire process can take eight weeks or longer. If you need more information, please send an e-mail to [email protected], including the name of the form in the subject field or call 215-922-2317 and ask to speak with the General Manager.
