LAURITA: So many choices.
LAUREN: I don't know where to go first.
Okay, this way or that way?
LAYLA: Reading Terminal Market is a public market in Philadelphia.
We started out mainly as a farmers market 130 years ago.
Today you're looking at a market with about 80 businesses, they're still all mom and pop owned businesses, some of them have been here for generations.
We'll never have a franchise in this building, and that's a really important point is when you're supporting a business in the market, you're supporting a small family owned business.
You can walk in here go to 16 different merchants and get some of the best quality produce, meat, cheeses, and it sets a tone that that is really where we should be spending our money and putting our focus is on our locals.
We're a representation of everything that Philadelphia has to offer, and I mean that truly in the food and in the people that are in this building.
LAUREN: We're at Reading Terminal Market right now.
LAURITA: We love a good juice.
LAUREN: Ginger, lemon, honey, cayenne... LAURITA: Delicious!
LAYLA: Philadelphians do take great pride in Reading Terminal Market, whether it's history, food, people, this is a great space to be.
LAURITA: I wonder if I should have gotten a cookie, just 'cause I... LAUREN: Okay we will definitely have to come back.
LAURITA: Oh.
