“When you walk into Riverwards, you feel the magic of a community market,” said director of operations Diane Wild. “It’s not just a market, it’s a neighborhood hub for residents to shop, converse and learn about new items they can incorporate into their lives.”
Dedicated to local sourcing, the second location enables owner and founder Vincent Finazzo to grow the relationships he created with Pennsylvania and New Jersey farmers and businesses.
Part of the experience of a Riverwards market is taking in the historical architecture that the markets are set within and restoring them to their original glory while also making the store functional.
Riverwards Produce employees are offered a starting salary of $16 per hour and all full-time employees are eligible for health insurance.
Riverwards Produce initially began as a wholesale supplier before opening its first location in Fishtown.
Double the size of the original Fishtown location, 146 Bread Street has been completely renovated with special attention to historical preservation details.
The market will be open seven days a week from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m.
