Indoor Market & Food Hall · Hershey, PA
Fresh Market at Hershey Towne Square is a two-floor indoor market and food hall in a restored 1930s building in downtown Hershey, PA — local produce, regional makers, and prepared meals all under one roof, an easy stop on the way between Hershey and the I-81 corridor.
Our take This one sits right in downtown Hershey, along the route between town and the I-81 corridor — an easy pull-off if you're already in the area for produce, a prepared lunch, or a slow browse. Heading back up I-81 toward Grantville, Lebanon, or points north afterward? We're right at Exit 80 if your vehicle needs a look before you get home.
Tucked into a beautifully restored historic building in the center of downtown Hershey, this is a market that rewards a slow walk-through. Roughly 25,000 square feet are split across two floors: an upstairs food hall full of artisan vendors, chef-driven counters, and fresh-prepared meals, and a downstairs farmers market stocked with local produce, meats, dairy, baked goods, and handcrafted finds from regional growers and makers. With more than 40 vendors under one roof, you can knock out a produce run, grab lunch, and pick up a specialty item without ever leaving the building. It is the kind of place that feels lively without feeling cramped, even on a busy Saturday.
The market keeps a Thursday-through-Saturday schedule, which makes it a planned-around destination rather than an everyday errand. The prepared-food side spans breakfast into dinner, so it works as a full meal stop and not just a grocery trip — soups, sandwiches, and full plates are all in the mix. The building itself is worth the visit too; the renovation kept enough of the original character to make it genuinely interesting to wander. For travelers in Hershey for Hersheypark or Chocolate World, it is a relaxed, local-flavored break from the bigger attractions.
Generally open Thursday through Saturday. The downstairs farmers market keeps daytime hours (roughly 9 a.m. into the late afternoon), while the upstairs food hall stays open later in the evening (to around 7-8 p.m.). The two levels keep slightly different hours and schedules shift around holidays, so call ahead or check their website to confirm before a special trip.

Yes — there is no admission to enter and browse the market. You only pay for what you buy from the vendors, whether that is produce, prepared food, or a specialty item.
The upstairs is a food hall with artisan vendors, chef-driven counters, and fresh-prepared meals. The downstairs is the farmers market, with local produce, meats, dairy, baked goods, and handcrafted items from regional growers and makers.
You can do both. The upstairs food hall serves prepared food spanning breakfast through dinner, so it works as a sit-down meal stop, while the downstairs farmers market covers the grocery and produce side.
It typically operates Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and is closed the rest of the week, so plan your visit for one of those three days. Hours can vary by floor and around holidays, so confirm before you go.
