When Good Market started, there was no intention of opening a retail outlet. Good Market focuses on curation and connection, so the original plan was to link vendors directly with institutional buyers. This worked relatively well for apparel and housewares, but fresh produce and food were a challenge.
Restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets were interested in the products, but the vendors were not ready. They were bringing available products to the weekly event, but they did not have experience consistently filling larger orders. The first Good Market shop was started in 2014 to fill this gap and serve as an incubator for small-scale producers and startup enterprises.
As a social enterprise, Good Market provides services that a conventional for-profit supermarket wouldn’t consider. For example, organic farmers and other rural producers often send products to Colombo by public bus or train, and the Good Market team works with tuk tuk drivers to coordinate pickup from the station.
