COVID-19 has claimed yet another famous marketplace in the Greater Toronto Area.
Pickering Markets, previously called Pickering Flea Market – a vibrant multicultural community marketplace with a total of 610 booths that includes 435 local business vendors, 175 antique vendors, 22 international food court vendors, housed in a 22,000 square-foot warehouse – has announced that it is closing its doors for good.
Through a statement on its website, the organisers said, “We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers, our vendors and our staff who have made The Pickering Markets a landmark attraction in Durham Region. COVID-19 has taken its toll on so many small businesses and we were no exception to its cruel effects. We feel for every single business that has or is currently going through these tough decisions. For us this was not a decision that came lightly. We hope everyone has a fantastic holiday season and we wish you all the best in the coming year.”
