For consumers, the practical benefit of shopping at Market at MidCity Huntsville is freshness.

The economic impact of a market like Market at MidCity Huntsville is also worth noting. When you spend money at Market at MidCity Huntsville, most of that money stays within the Huntsville area. Small farms and food businesses that sell direct-to-consumer do not depend on wholesale distribution margins, which means a larger percentage of each sale goes back to the producer — and back into the local economy. That is a meaningful difference from shopping at a national chain retailer.

Markets like Market at MidCity Huntsville are essential to Huntsville's food landscape — they keep dollars local, reduce supply chain distance, and give residents access to fresher food than most retail options.
