Chicago International Produce Market, Wholesale produce market in Pilsen, US
The Chicago International Produce Market is a large wholesale facility for fresh fruits and vegetables in an industrial area of the city. The building is organized with receiving areas on one side and loading zones on the other to handle the constant movement of produce.
The market moved to this location in 2001 from its previous home at South Water Market. This move to a modern industrial area gave the facility more space and better logistics for handling regional produce.
The market functions as a central hub where Midwest buyers from supermarkets, restaurants, and independent retailers source fresh produce for diverse communities.
You can enter the facility from two different points: one entrance is on Damen Avenue and the other is near Blue Island Avenue. Each entrance serves different sections of the market, so plan your visit accordingly.
More than 20 different produce merchants operate within the same building at this location. This concentration of wholesalers in one place makes it easy for buyers to compare offerings and organize large purchases.
