Your investment in West Side Market’s transformation will restore this historic landmark, bring its operations into the 21st Century, and lead to greater community impact than ever previously imagined.

Both the east and west wings of the old produce arcade will be updated to improve the customer and merchant experience. The KeyBank Produce Arcade will open in the fall of 2025 and will be home to the Market’s produce merchants. The area will be a climate-controlled environment with improved access to product choices for the customers and improved access to food storage in the basement for merchants. The North Arcade will transform into a food hall, featuring expanded indoor seating as well as local, independently owned businesses offering served-on-site food and drink.
