food market

Place selling provisions

A food market is a place where food is sold—whether a permanent grocery store, a farmers market, or an open-air bazaar.

The term often suggests fresh produce and local vendors rather than packaged goods: We stopped at the food market for vegetables.

In some regions, food market and grocery store are interchangeable.
