For a few years, the Municipal Mercat de Xàbia o Mercado de Abastos has noticed a notable drop in customers and this has also led to the closure of some stalls. But the fight to get it working 100% again does not wane.
During 2018, an external company hired by the council has carried out a technical study to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the market and specify the measures that can be carried out by merchants and Town hall to boost each of the businesses of the Municipal Market of Jávea.
These days, the result has already been known by the administration and sellers. The type of trade that is needed, change of image in some positions and the availability of offering service facilities are the keys that will make the Mercat can return to its maximum splendor, according to the study.
Although some of the proposals presented in the report are already in operation, what is clear from the Association of Vendors of the Mercat, is that you have to get down to work already, so, as announced by the president of the group, Rafa Expósito, a Xàbia.com, "We have created a commission formed by three representatives of the Mercat that we will meet with the three municipal officials to study what actions of all the determined ones to carry out and how." And it is that, Expósito has affirmed that some of the proposals and improvements presented are already in operation.
Also, a position of takeaway, a greengrocer and a new fishmonger with elaborated product and tasting are the options of commerce that the study proposes as a measure to enhance the call of customers as well as a unity in the corporate image.
Undoubtedly, the architecture, the fresh product and the dynamism with the organization of activities in the interior are the 10 points that the Mercat de Xàbia currently has.
