Inscription. The merchant mix at Lexington Market has always included large numbers of immigrant-owned businesses, dating back to the Market's founding. Early records depict a melting pot of business owner nationalities—from German-owned butcher shops to Italian produce sellers to Greek bakeries and confectioneries. In the 1970s, the Market saw a surge of Korean-owned businesses, a legacy that lives on in the current Market.
