Weekly Market

We go to the market to buy many things- vegetables, soap, toothpaste, masala, bread, rice, dal, clothes, notebooks, biscuits, etc.  There are many kinds of markets that we may visit for our everyday needs: these can include shops, hawker’s stalls in our neighborhoods, a weekly market, a large shopping complex, perhaps even a mall.

Weekly Market:     A weekly market is so called because it is held on a specific day of the week. Weekly markets do not have permanent shops. Traders set up shops for the day and then close them up in the evening. Then they may set up at a different place the next day.

          Many things in weekly markets are available at cheaper rates. This is because when shops are in permanent buildings. They incur a lot of expenditure – they have to pay rent. Electricity, fees to the government. In weekly markets, these shop owners store the things they sell at home. Most of them are helped by their family members and, hence, do not need to hire workers. Weekly markets also have a large number of shops selling the same goods which means there is competition among them.

          One of the advantages of weekly markets is that most things you need are available at one place. Whether you want vegetables, groceries or cloth items, utensils- all of them can be found here. People also prefer going to a market where they have a choice and a variety of goods.
