About Us
Welcome to Reno’s Favorite Food Hall & Community Hub
Reno Public Market is more than just a place to eat—it’s where neighbors gather, stories are shared, and creativity thrives. Inside our indoor food market, you’ll find a curated mix of restaurants near you, along with local shops, artisan makers, and a stage that keeps the energy alive with live music and events.
Our story began with the historic Shoppers Square in the 1960s, a retail destination that grew alongside Reno. Today, we’ve reimagined that space into a vibrant food hall and gathering place where locally owned businesses serve up passion, flavor, and community spirit every day.
A Rich Retail History
In the 1960s, this site was the last piece of the Casazza family ranch—on the outskirts of a much smaller Reno. When the family revealed plans to transform the land into a retail destination, it was a bold move. At the time, Reno didn’t have anything like a shopping center, and few imagined people would venture this far for it.
But in 1964, Shoppers Square opened its doors, pioneering what would become a vital hub for locally owned businesses. With anchor stores like Skaggs Drugstore and Mayfair Market, and beloved local shops like Faye’s Sportswear, the space quickly became a center of community, commerce, and culture. Over the decades, this vibrant corner of Reno grew alongside the city — a destination for shopping, food, and local events that captured the spirit of the community.

The New Reno Public Market
Time has a way of transforming everything. Over the years, Shoppers Square evolved into an indoor mall, the iconic neon sign above Faye’s faded from view, and new tenants moved in. Yet one thing remained constant — the Casazza family’s ownership and dedication to the community. As the neighborhood grew and shifted, so did its needs, inspiring the Casazzas to reimagine the space for the next generation.
After years of thoughtful planning and design, Reno Public Market emerged — blending the roots of a historic structure with the energy of a modern-day indoor food market. Today, the space is alive with locally owned businesses, live music, and vibrant community events. Grab a bite from one of our food stalls, sip something refreshing at the bar, and experience the revival of “Live at Faye’s” under the same neon glow that lit the original center. We’re proud of our past and even more excited for what’s next.
