Market Market — Local services in Palm Springs

Walking through the mission style front entrance, you may pick up on the mouth watering aroma of Mexican street food coming from ‘Tacon'Todo’ on your left, a really nice touch.

The vibe was cool, unique, and visually stimulating right away as I walked into this wide-open, creative space. I felt like I was given the option to flow freely toward anything that spoke to me, as opposed to being funneled around on a pre-determined pathway.

I was so impressed with the robust variety of goods available for purchase, in every vibrant color, rich texture, and original design you can imagine, from art and high fashion apparel to furniture, accessories, and even a few surf boards! So cool.

What really impacted me most profoundly though was seeing all these incredibly talented creators and vendors coming together to showcase their work collectively and thrive as small and growing businesses in Palm Springs, CA! I hope you all explode with success here in our beautiful desert and...

My girlfriends and I love vintage/antique shopping so we were excited to check this place out, but wow, Market Market is the definition of overpriced thrift. The staff are unfriendly and snooty, which only adds to the disappointing experience. Most of the items are low quality junk, just styled to look high end. Case in point, old Champion hoodies for $158. Like, huh???

There are far better options in the area. I highly recommend checking out “Antique Galleries of Palm Springs” instead. Their items are clearly labeled with history and details, and their prices are very reasonable. Don’t be fooled by Market Market’s curated aesthetic, it’s smoke and mirrors for a...

I went here on opening day and what a treat it was. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. This space was an old stein mart and was vacant for quite awhile and quite an eye sore. I always wondered what would go in to replace it thinking it would be another grocery store. I walked in and saw a whole new transformed space. Many people walking around among celebrities and eyeing up all the goods. My favorite area was red dog where they had vintage tiki mugs and cool vintage skateboards that were laminated with resin and redesigned from old Hawaiian shirts. I chatted with the maker for awhile. It’s not everyday you can meet the maker of quality items and learn the backstory and the passion they have for creating less waste in the world and repurposing. So many creative ideas and repurposed goods all over the place. I’ll definitely be back and look forward to seeing all the new items...
