Welcome to the Food Hall and Market

 

 

The City of Morden, the Morden Community Development Corporation (MCDC), opened a business incubator space to support the growth of new restaurants and retail businesses.

Food Halls of this kind are popping up in cities across Canada as a new approach to economic development that supports the growth, or “incubation”, of small businesses in the hospitality and retail sectors.

In this way, the Food Hall and Market in Morden is a homegrown approach to economic development which offers not only great food to customers, but also offers the businesses enrolled in the program support to grow their business through flexible leases, savings on start-up costs, mentorship, and access to subject matter experts.

The Morden Food Hall and Market not only endeavours to offer patrons delicious and unique culinary options it also supports local entrepreneurs in the growth of their start-up businesses.

The MCDC is grateful for the support shown by the City of Morden and the Province of Manitoba for this program.
