The new Flatbush Central Caribbean Marketplace, formerly known as Flatbush Caton Market, is in dire need of marketing and more connection to the community, said struggling vendors. The building, located at 2123 Caton Ave in Brooklyn, has been open [...]
The building, located at 2123 Caton Ave in Brooklyn, has been open for over 5 months. About 14 vendors with booths at the marketplace met to voice their concerns. Most were elderly business owners who had preceded the new building and had been selling their wares in the community for over 17 years.
One man pointed out that the bar was not fully opened in the front of the building which deceptively made the rest of the building, where the market is, look closed or inactive. “To level the playing field for non-English speakers, Flatbush Central has arranged for a native Kreyol speaker to facilitate a customized business curriculum to help vendors grow and thrive,” said a spokesperson in a statement.
