  • Items ordered on PFM-O are collected at vendor’s tents. (You’ll be emailed your list of ordered items).
  • All participating vendors have a “Preorder From Me Online” sign displayed.
  • In front of vendors typically without significant lines you’ll see "Walk Up Service & Preorder Pick Up" painted. PFM-O shoppers wait briefly with other walk up shoppers to collect their items from these vendors.
  • Vendors with dedicated, sizeable walk up lines will also have a “Pick Up Preorders Here” sign set above a yellow "Preorder Pick Up" box painted on the pavement - at these vendors you can skip the walk up line!

PFM-O will be open every week from 7:00pm on Tuesday to 2:00pm on Thursday. More vendors are joining every week.

The Market analyzed several platforms to come up with the best solution for both customers and vendors. The result is a PFM-O that is easy to use and enhances the health and safety protocols in place at the Market. Vendors and shoppers benefit from contact-free transactions and from the ability the preorder process creates for shoppers to get in and out quickly.
