The market works at \u201cwelcoming and supporting independent traders, local artists and start-up businesses\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Day, the owner of Red Brick said: \u201cNow more than ever it\u2019s really important to support your local economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: \u201cThe business rates and rent are not sustained for small businesses, lots of the people here have got other commitments like families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an independent market Red Brick allows customers to support vendors directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Day said: “You can see it’s going into this family, that family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s a feel-good way of shopping.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a range of diverse and interesting products on offer, from second-hand clothing, prints, antiques and beyond. Mr Day said there was already a “good sense of community” within the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo Maycock, of Jam Artworks Ltd<\/a>, a merchandise brand ‘with a dash of Yorkshire humour’ said: \u201cI came on Friday for a look round and ended up signing up for a unit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that the market is a \u201cgreat opportunity\u201d and that it is already a \u201cgood mix of businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market will be able to hold nearly 100 stores, and Red Brick promises to \u201cprovide a unique and inspiring shopping experience to locals and visitors alike\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Brick already has two venues in the UK, originating in Liverpool with another store opening in Birmingham in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Day said: \u201cThis is our third (location) now and we try to pick places that have a similar vibe, central student areas.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plans for the Sheffield location were approved last year in place of the former 99 Jump trampoline park on John Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: \u201cWe look all over the UK but the location has got to have that particular feeling.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield’s Red Brick Market will be open from 10am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, and from 11am until 6pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
