Information
on Purchasing
If you want to take part in a bit of Cleveland's rich ethnic history and do your grocery shopping at the same time, simply take a trip to the West Side Market. The West Side Market is easily identified by its graceful clock tower and the beautiful Neo-Classical/Byzantine Style building. The West Side Market opened its doors on October 31, 1912. Ninety years later, it is still a bustling and thriving place where vendors and customers engage in lively conversation while doing their weekly shopping. The recent renovations, as part of the millennium project, have made the West Side Market and the surrounding area the place to shop, socialize, and enjoy. As you walk through the outside arcade you will notice some changes. Without losing the ambiance of your "Old World" shopping experience for quality fruits and vegetables, we have made it more comfortable by keeping it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. While walking through the main arcade on the original quarry tile flooring, take time to look around and see the decorative cast ceramic corbels featuring animals and vegetables on the columns. While shopping for your meats, cheeses, and specialty items look up and admire the clerestory of windows providing natural lighting and ventilation. Revel at the suspended vaulted ceiling made of a very thin shell of terra cotta tile, placed in a rich herringbone design. When you visit the West Side Market you will experience personal service while purchasing quality produce and meats. When you shop at the West Side Market, you become part of the rich ethnic history of the Market and Cleveland. For your rewarding and unique experience, "Come home to the West Side Market!" |
