history
At the beginning of the 1930s, entrepreneurs Fred Beck and Roger Dahlhjelm decided to set up a permanent market for farmers; As early as July 1934, farmers began to sell their products from trucks at what is now the Farmers Market. Fixed stands and the first restaurants opened in October 1934. Success was virtually instantaneous, with the Farmers Market becoming a major mall for the Los Angelenos. Parking spaces were soon created, and in 1948 the clock tower was built, which has since become a symbol for the market. In 1952, CBS Television City moved into a building in the immediate vicinity, so that many people from the TV business used the Farmers Market to shop and eat. Many stars also came from nearby Hollywood , mostly for marketing purposes, such as Marilyn Monroe ("Miss Cheesecake 1953"). In the 1990s the facility was renovated and expanded to reflect its status as a tourist attraction. In 2002, the open-air shopping center The Grove at Farmers Market was inaugurated on part of the historic Farmers Market and is considered an example of modern experience shopping ; Customers can take a classically designed tram from the Farmers Market to The Grove , which is home to free attractions alongside the commercial offerings.
