This works great! Many customers who come to the market are repulsed by the
possibility that they will have to cross through many trinkets in order to
get to the veggies. Having a distinct location for both is just the ticket,
here. The opposite can, I'm sure, be said about people who are looking for a
flea market instead of just veggies.
It just makes sense to make it as easy as possible for the buyer to find what
they are looking for at the market. Keeping things grouped also provides for
competition and variety among like things- a great concept! :-)
