In my country, there are some open markets. I enjoy buying fruits and vegetables from open markets. However, most people here prefer shopping at the malls because they can spend the whole day there. :)

People in my country generally prefer to shop at open markets than in malls. Malls are just meant for the elites. The locals prefer the markets.

Personallly, I sometimes prefer the open markets as you can buy things cheaper . I think its difficult for you to see an area that doesn't have it's own open market

I think super stores are overated. There is no other market as good for buying foodstuff than open markets. When it comes to clothes too, open markets are still the best.

This is open market in Croatia. Unfortunately those are less and less visited since prices are higher than in big markets. Some claims they sell mosre healthier food but often they just resell all same things like in market.

Successive governments in my place have never tried to erode the open markets system because it is part of the culture. They just modernize it and make it nicer and more organized.

We have an open area which we call public market. We even have a fish selling area where only fish are sold both wholesale and retail.
Yes same here, there are some open market where they sell just one thing in particular, in most cases these things are usually cheaper. Like a meat market, you will get things cheaper there when you. Buy from a normal market.

A specialized market offers products that are more qualitative and cheaper than a normal market. We have a market for automobile parts on my place. And everyone goes there to buy because they are sure of availability, quality and affordability.

Supermarkets have things they sell and open markets sell what supermarkets sell and what supermarkets don't sell. Most people prefer the buzz of the Open markets against the solitude of supermarkets.

I am not sure what you mean by "Open markets". Are you referring to markets that are open 24 hours a day. The fact remains that there are certain grocery stores that tend to remain open during those hours.

Yes, we have some open markets in my country. However, they are not as popular as they used to be because now things have changed. Most people prefer shopping online because they are too busy and tired to visit these open markets.

In Croatia often sellers buy cheap products in big markets and later resell it on open markets for bigger price. They advertise it as home products but those are imported products from another country.

We have open markets but these markets are not very big and they sell limited items. These open markets are more common in the rural areas and small towns compared to cities.

Well, I think that the original poster was referring to open air markets. These kind of markets are very popular in my country. They state that they sell cheaper products. However, I have never purchased anything from such market till now.

Open market exists in my country. As a matter of fact, people patronize well in this market because this is a place to get all you need at home such as food, clothes and shelters. They sell at affordable price.

It makes it very easy for you to shop in an open-market because you will have access to a lot of products that you can choose from a variety of them.

The truth is that open markets sell cheaper products. I really like visiting open markets. There are a few of them in my country. They are open on Sundays. However, they are not very popular here because people prefer shopping online.

It is true that the presence of many sellers for each product in an open market make it a cheaper option to shop for your products. To a reasonable extent, you are assumed of seeing the exact thing you want to buy in an open market.
