The Fruitvale Public Market is a small business incubator that provides affordable storefront space and business technical assistance services to micro-enterprises. The project was started to:

• Expand access to business opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses
• Promote job creation and micro-enterprise development
• Expand business opportunities in the Fruitvale and San Antonio neighborhoods

Opened in 2008, the Fruitvale Public Market's 7,000 square foot indoor-outdoor market currently supports eleven small businesses that add a colorful array of goods and services to the local Fruitvale community. In addition to retail space, entrepreneurs have access to business planning, management and marketing to sustain and promote business growth.

The Fruitvale Public Market and the adjacent Plaza De La Fuente serve as a link between the Fruitvale Village and the International Boulevard commercial corridor.
