Reading Terminal Market

Built by the Reading Railroad beneath its new train shed in 1892, the Terminal replaced the Franklin and Farmer's Markets, established in 1860, and quickly became a food mecca for both train-riding suburbanites and local residents. After five thriving decades, the Market fell on hard times in the 1960s but rebounded in the early 1980s with the introduction of new prepared and ethnic foods as well as specialty goods. Renovated in 1994 as part of the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Market continues to provide a wide array of products.
