Street Market Report - August 9, 2015

This was the week of our second market day at 501 Powell Street.
Customers are still not coming, as can be seen by the graph below. We estimate that 20 times the traffic is generated at Pigeon Park as compared to 501 Powell Street at the moment.

Vendors may continue to come, but they are not making any where near the revenue that they do at Pigeon Park.

This is becoming increasingly obvious at the same time as we are coming under pressure to close Pigeon Park and move the Sunday market to 501 Powell Street.

If we did this now, there is no question that we would have a full scale revolt on our hands by the vendors.

Some of them have approached me in tears, begging me not to agree to leave Pigeon Park.

We shall see what the future brings.
