The fact that we get to taste delicious fruits because as I said before, the fruits that we buy from like usual supermarkets that are even far away from here are much more expensive and we also get freebies like some after like selling to customers, we get to like drink a cup of orange juice and you know how it's hot and drinking a cup of orange juice on a hot day is the best thing.

Like all around Conorsey and all our neighborhoods, every communities, because not every communities has the opportunities to have markets all around where people could just drop by and buy fruits, that's why we want to make the fresh food markets tense.
