Why should you start in a market?
Markets have always been part of British heritage and they are quickly becoming one of the most popular, trendy places to shop for bargains, one-off gems and high-quality products that you won’t find on a regular high street.
Becoming a market trader at Chester Market is a low cost, low risk way of starting up as we offer short term leases with very competitive rent levels. You will be surrounded by experienced, knowledgeable business owners who you can share ideas and insights with to help improve each other’s businesses, as well as expert advice from market management and site staff.
Also as an added bonus, because all the Chester Market units fall under the council requirements you might be able to apply for 100% off business rates.
