South 9th street Businessmen's Association

While the chaotic nature of the market's shopping experience is part of its charm, the South 9th Street Business Men's Association exists to provide an overarching umbrella of organization and support to its merchants and to facilitate a memorable experience for each and every visitor. The association began in 1915 to promote the commercial development of 9th Street between Catherine and Federal Streets and its neighboring merchants on 8th and 10th Streets.

Today, the association's vision is to preserve the South 9th Street Italian Market as our nation's oldest, continuous open-air marketplace while establishing it as the best in the country through excellence in customer service, quality products and overall shopping experience by 2020.
