For centuries, markets have been a central feature of European life. In Paris, public markets are synonymous with French culture and style, as expressed through fresh foods and drinks, flowers, clothing, books, arts and crafts and jewelry sold by local vendors in open air pavilions. In fact, markets are so vital to the culture and economy of France, that almost all markets are municipally owned or authorized.

A French Market will create a new economic sector for your city. These markets can offer a variety of goods and vary from upscale, urban markets to more rural, local street fairs. By offering a variety of goods in different types of markets, it invites customers from all economic groups and provides an environment that is welcoming to all.

With over 60 years of experience and over 100 markets throughout Paris, New York, Michigan and Chicagoland, the Bensidoun family are the public market managers and developer experts.

With over 60 years of experience and over 100 markets throughout the world, the Bensidoun family are the public market managers and developer experts.

Rolland Bensidoun, like his father and grandfather before him, began managing open-air markets in and around France. For almost 60 years, Rolland has expanded his operation to over 80 markets throughout France and the metropolitan area, introducing his sons, Pascal and Sebastien, to the business. In 1996, The Bensidouns decided to expand outside of Europe to develop the French Market in the United States and bring to it its expertise and resources, as well as touch of Parisian color.

Markets are tourist attractions, commercial traffic generators and create a great sense of community.

People are looking for new, diverse, authentic, shopping experiences. Traditional shopping centers have recognized the need for diversity in shopping choices and have implemented market kiosks owned by individual vendors. Cities across the United States have recognized the market trend and are encouraging, and in some instances, funding the development of a public market.

In recent years, American cities began searching for ways to create a sense of community and excitement as well as commercial vitality, in town centers. A French Market brings that sense of community that is found in the markets of France, providing residents with a place to gather, socialize and purchase quality goods at reasonable prices. Municipalities and community groups have sponsored special events, such as farmer’s markets and art-and-crafts fairs. But as these groups soon discovered, special events are time-consuming and can result in financial losses. A market operated responsibly and regularly, creates a sense of fellowship and excitement and can begin a tradition in the community that can last for years to come.

A French Market will create a new economic sector for your city. These markets can offer a variety of goods and vary from upscale, urban markets to more rural, local street fairs. By offering a variety of goods in different types of markets, it invites customers from all economic groups and provides an environment that is welcoming to all.

The market is one of the oldest and most enduring forms of retail commerce providing the individual entrepreneur with the ability to get started in the retail business for a relatively little capital. This is just one of the reason that markets have existed and can continue to exist for countless generations in
the future.
