There’s so much to celebrate at the Lenexa Public Market as the end of the year approaches. Lenexa’s food hall and business incubator has welcomed three new merchants, seen another expand into a bigger space at the Market and watched as people embraced the Market as a beloved gathering space more than ever. You can relish in their success too — because these merchants are ready to help you have one exceptional holiday season thanks to their cornucopia of unique, top-quality dishes and gifts.
