Derby City Council<\/a> has welcomed a popular local family grocer and deli to Derby Market Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established fruit and veg retailer Martins is the latest new addition to the revamped building, which reopened in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owners David and Caroline Martin are making the short move from their current premises across the road to return to the business\u2019s market trading roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family business is taking two units inside the Market Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, it will transform the former butcher\u2019s counter into The Market Deli, which will provide a selection of freshly made items including cobs, sandwiches, salads and hot food like jacket potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The counter will also stock deli meats, cheeses, Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, quiche, jams, preserves and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after this, it will open Martins Fruits stall alongside the deli, offering a wide choice of fresh fruit and vegetables, plus eggs, nuts and dried fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1989 by James Martin \u2013 David and Caroline\u2019s father \u2013 the business was a fixture in the Eagle Market until it was cleared for refurbishment in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

James built the company until his retirement, and it has remained a true family affair, with David\u2019s daughter, Jaime, now representing the third generation involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While trading in the market, Martins also operated shops in Alvaston and Normanton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the closure of the Eagle Market, the business moved into its current premises in Albert Street, which will close on Saturday 6 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David said: \u201cOur current unit is really successful, but market trading is our passion and we have missed the buzz of being based in a market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to move into Derby Market Hall and start the next chapter in the Martins story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martins joins several businesses that have recently moved into the Market Hall, with more set to follow in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Nadine Peatfield, leader of Derby City Council and cabinet member for city centre, regeneration, strategy and policy, said: \u201cWe know the public are keen to see traditional market staples at Derby Market Hall, and we\u2019ve listened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are delighted to welcome Martins Fruits \u2013 this well-established, local family business will provide high-quality, sustainable fresh produce and delicious lunch options, enhancing the Market Hall\u2019s diverse and vibrant line-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve recently welcomed a number of new traders and will be announcing more soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
