Downtown Conroe’s Main Street Market Announces Final Market Day

Market leaders said on Facebook on January 29 that Main Street Market Conroe will close on February 7. The market has been in downtown Conroe for almost five years.

Every Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 301 N. Thompson St., there is a farmers and artisans market. Since it opened, it has been a hub for small businesses and local sellers. In a public post, developer Farralyn Withrow confirmed the final market date and encouraged everyone to join the last two events on January 31 and February 7.

"Our last market in downtown Conroe will be on February 7th, after almost five great years," Withrow wrote. "We are sad and thankful."

Local farmers, bakers, artists, and crafters have sold their goods at the market, which has helped build what the leaders call a "close-knit community." Withrow says that more than 100 new companies got their start at the market, which became an important part of downtown Conroe's economy.

"This village has been more than just a market for a long time," Withrow wrote in the statement that people should buy from vendors on the last two Saturdays.

Withrow told people to "come say goodbye in person" and suggested that they buy a flower and a snack and thank the sellers for all they had done over the years.

Main Street Market was open every week in the middle of downtown, attracting locals and tourists looking for fresh food and handmade goods. The market's closing means that people will no longer be able to meet there every weekend, which was beneficial for foot traffic and small businesses in the area.

The organizers did not give a reason for the closing in the public post.

The downtown site will host the last markets on January 31 and February 7. With the last two events coming up, vendors should be there as normal.

"We will miss seeing you every Saturday," Withrow wrote.

The market will close on February 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 301 N. Thompson St.
