A rebuilt Lexington Market reopens and begins serving customers

The revitalized Lexington Market, a $45 million project by city-selected developer Seawall, opened its doors at 8 a.m. to a line of people waiting outside. The first day was considered a “soft opening” with just three permanent merchants and six kiosk carts up and running. By next Monday, the developer expects to have 10 permanent vendors open, with more expected in coming weeks.
