Local gem Mongers Market was recently recognized as one of the nations Best Home Store experiences by none other than House Beautiful. Only a handfull of years ago it took a man with a vision, and sheer determination to make it all come together. After running a successful antique gallery in Stamford Connecticut for over two decades, owner John Hiden took a look at an old factory building in Bridgeport, and envisioned a world of curated goods procured by a collection of diverse personalities and talented Mongers. Today, adventurous shoppers have access to about 80 different small business owners operating their own Booths under one roof. It takes time to explore throughout 127,000 square feet of Vintage Halophane-Lit floor space- explaining why the magazine article named Mongers Market ’The Best Place To Get Lost’! The Magic of Mongers lies in a group united by a love for old beautiful things and a basic belief that the planet has enough stuff on it already; no need to make more for landfills. This is a Sundays only Market, and there is a $3 Entry Fee.
