Vendors reopen at Reading Terminal Market after power outage

OK Produce managed to keep itself in business by using a power cord attached to a neighboring business. Most, however, were forced to close on Thursday and will likely have to throw away refrigerated items.

"Nobody wants to waste food whether the insurance covers it or not," said Rob Passion, owner of Owns Giunta's Prime Shop and Butcher Pantry. He offered ice to fellow merchants who were trying to preserve food. "We like to say that Reading Terminal Market’s a family and in times of crisis you find out that it really is," Feeley said.

By late-afternoon, a spokesperson for Reading Terminal Market told FOX 29's Kelly Rule that the necessary electrical work has been completed, and businesses will be able to reopen on Friday. "Tomorrow’s going to be a struggle, for sure, trying to set back up, cook everything, cook stuff, start from scratch it’s like grand opening all over again and we just opened 2 months ago," Passio said.Latest News
