Logan Street Market, an indoor public market in Louisville, Kentucky, opened its doors on October 5, 2019. Conceived by Mike and Medora Safai, the market transformed a former candy and tobacco distribution warehouse into a dynamic community hub, inspired by the public market tradition found in cities like Seattle. Serving as Louisville’s first year-round indoor market, it functions as an entrepreneurial incubator, hosting over 30 independent, locally-owned food, retail, and artisan businesses.
Beyond its diverse array of vendors and dining options, Logan Street Market features the Zanzabar Arcade, a dedicated space offering a substantial collection of retro and contemporary arcade games. The arcade houses dozens of titles, with a notable emphasis on pinball machines, alongside various single and two-player video games. This recreational offering, combined with weekly events, music, and kid-friendly activities, establishes Logan Street Market as a significant cultural and economic contributor to the Shelby Park neighborhood, fostering local entrepreneurship and providing fresh, local food options to the community.
