Culture marketsmarketsMost people in Britain and the US buy their fresh food in supermarkets rather than traditional markets. But markets are still important to the life of many cities and towns, and farmers' markets, where local farmers and others sell produce (= fruit, vegetables, etc.) or home-made foods directly to the public, are popular.In Britain, most markets are held in the open air, in town squares or market places. They usually take place only on market day, the same day each week, and sometimes on Saturdays, and the stalls are put up for each occasion. Towns where markets have been held for many years are called market towns. Many still have a market cross, indicating where the market was originally held, or an old market hall, a covered area open at the sides. Today, markets sell flowers, fruit and vegetables, fish and meat, clothes and household goods. Markets that sell cheap second-hand goods, including clothes, jewellery and books are called flea markets.Some towns and cities in Britain and the US have a covered or indoor market. These markets are usually open more days of the week than outdoor markets and operate more like shops.The word market is sometimes used in American English to refer to any food shop. A hypermarket or superstore in both Britain and the US is a very large store or supermarket. - [singular] business or trade, or the amount of trade in a particular type of goods
