"The Worcester Public Market is an amazing idea whose time has
come. Consumers today have such an ability to exercise choice.
They are used to getting what they want when they want it. The
concept of the public market fills that need. When a group of people
goes out, they all want something different: sushi, Mexican, pizza.
The diversity public markets offer has what everyone wants."
– Christian McMahan, President, Wachusett Brewing Company
