It’s not exactly a rush job, but you can see some progress if you compare the photos below with the first article about the renovations. All of the walk-in coolers have been ripped out, more electrical outlets have been added, and lines marking vendor stalls have been painted. Most of this appears to be in preparation for the Flea Market vendors to make their temporary move to the Produce Market’s shed.

So, you would pretty much be exactly who they want. Once the renovations are done, maybe the place will get an increase in traffic. Given that the stall assignments are given based on senority, you might want to sign up now, and keep your name on the list by renting a spot once in every four week period. Rents are half what they used to be, so that could be as little as $4 per month and whatever licsencing fees there are. I look at it like a bit of potentially valuable real estate with really low property taxes.

But from growing up with my mom owning a large outdoor flea market in Pass Christian, MS, and knowing people who have vended or applied to vend at the French Market, I know I probably couldn't even get in, let alone thrive in that environment of cheap, imported tourist merchandise. I would love to see more locally produced goods sold there, including the Farmer's Market. I’ve often thought it would be cool to set up shop at the French Market.
