New Eastern Market — Local services in Springettsbury Township

Its a great disappointment to rush to get to a shopping spot and then arrive there two hours before closing time only to find several "more than six vendets closed". After this has now happened several times including two in a row, I will not rush back in fact this market will become an afterthought. If despe I may stop there this winter from time to time but will stop at a local stand for the summer. IF YOU HAVE POSTED HOURS ADHERE TO THEM! if not it undermines the integrity of the other vendors. I had a well known vendor that is also a board member tell me this "what do you expect us to do it des not pay with so few customers here in the afternoon." as he was packing up at 4:00pm.. There an adage, its the cost of doing business, it was never like this in the not too distant past many people were there shopping till closing time. The stopped coming when the vendors started leaving early. Remember some people who are potential or past customers work perhaps till 4:00 or even 5:00pm. Has the work ethic changed that much? The vendors who abide by the hours are loosing customers due to the bad practices of the vendors who just take the cream off the top and run away early. I have been in business for 40 years and that experience shows me that the market has a weak and apithetic board, that if keeps this course will ruin a local...

2023: I still love this place, and I still wish they were open more days. They're one of the few markets around where I can get fruit in the big buckets to make jellies and butters. Anywhere else you don't get discounts for buying large amounts and/or they don't sell their seconds.

2019: I love this place. There's one main issue that knocked off a star though. The place is only open Friday until 6. However, the shops all start actually closing at 5, so I can never make it after work. The only way I can go is if I leave work early, which we can't do on Friday. It would be nice if they stayed open until the posted time or if they were open Saturday...

Its only open on Fridays, that's my only negative about this market lol. The selection and availability are wonderful. I go every Friday and I find myself loving every minute of it. The staff at each different vendor stand are so nice and you build new friendships. Its great to bring the kids. Its big enough but not soooo big. If you have not been go at least once. You find and buy everything from crafts, knick-nacks, health & beauty products, a huge variety of food (from fresh deli meats, vegetables, cold and hot food from restaurants for lunch and even places to sit and eat!), pastries, there is just so much available and it's all...
