Perth shoppers, food lovers and bargain hunters are expected to enjoy an “even bigger and better” market experience when Perth Markets launches the all-new Saturday Wholesale Market this weekend.  

Formerly the Saturday Clearance Market, the refreshed market will deliver extended trading hours, an expanded range of vendors and a new focus on freshness, variety and value.

Opening every Saturday between 6am and 11am, the Saturday Wholesale Market will continue to offer direct access to some of Western Australia’s fresh food wholesalers, including AJ Langford, while also introducing additional stallholders offering fresh produce, specialty foods, unique products and convenient breakfast options.

The revitalised market has been designed to create a more diverse shopping experience, giving customers greater choice and more reasons to make Perth Markets part of their weekend routine.

Weekend Markets and Events Manager, Dembo Konteh, says the relaunch reflects the market’s evolution and the unique shopping experiences on offer.

“The Saturday Wholesale Market is about bringing together quality, freshness and value in one place,” he says.

“Whether you’re stocking up on your weekly groceries, searching for the freshest seasonal produce, or simply looking for a great morning out, there’s something for everyone.

“One of the things that makes this market so special is the opportunity for the public to buy directly from Western Australian wholesalers, who source fresh stock daily from growers and producers. Combined with our growing range of specialty stallholders, it creates a shopping experience you won’t find anywhere else.”

Perth Markets will be trialling the extended trading hours for an initial four-week period, giving shoppers an extra hour to browse, buy and explore everything the market has to offer. The success of the trial will depend on community support, and Perth Markets is encouraging visitors to take advantage of the new 11am finish time and experience the expanded market offering.
