As a historic preservationist, I love the old building. If I could have designed a store for an adaptive reuse project, it would look like this.
The fresh produce always looks amazing. They carry ice cream from Sweet Republic and other products you would associate with a farmers market, i.e. non-label or locally produced food like honey, chips, cheese, etc.
I go for the wine.
I wasn't a wine snob before but I am now. I will no longer drink wine if it's not grown in Arizona. The public market has a wide selection of Arizona wine (a little more on the pricey side) but worth it.
This is a great place to see neighbors, friends, and to really feel the sense of place in the community that the Public Market has created.
