Lancaster Central Market

About

Lancaster Central Market, America's oldest continuously operated public market house, operates year-round on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. All standholders commit to a 3-day weekly schedule. The market carefully curates its product mix—fresh produce, prepared foods for takeaway, and ready-to-eat offerings—and tracks vendor performance to keep turnover low and stands stable. Standholders must carry $1M general liability insurance, obtain health department approval and annual operating licenses (food vendors), and submit stand designs for approval. No cooking on-site is permitted. The market requires a mini-business plan with your application to help new vendors succeed. Limited absences allowed: no more than 15 closed/late/early days per year. Contact (717) 291-4714 with questions about health and safety regulations.
