It could be a win, win for everyone if you go and check it out. Helps you and the vendor. We don't want to lose them...
If they are not being patronized then I would have to assume that most people don't care if we lose them.

And I would guess that if the prices are higher at the Brownwood Market for the same or similar quality produce elsewhere it is because the rents are higher or they feel that the people here are willing to pay more.
