Dear Vendors,
Public Food Markets, Inc. d/b/a Kenosha Public Market (KPM) is a regularly occurring, weekly gathering space for the purchase and sale of primarily, Wisconsin and Illinois produced goods. The Market is your opportunity to access thousands of shoppers for a reasonably low price. Similar to retail stores maintaining product inventory, we approve vendors and products based on quality, consumer need or perceived need for the goods offered. We are committed to managing the Market’s product categories to protect vendor sales as well as to build customer loyalty by ensuring the goods our customers expect are available consistently.
When selling at KPM, vendors are operating as small businesses. The strength of any Market depends on the presence of vendors and a diversity of products. As with any business, customers must be able to count on vendors being present at Market. Consistent goods and product availability means consistent customers shopping for those goods and products. Continuity and reliability are critical to sales in addition to gaining a regular customer base.
