== Hours ==

Reading Terminal Market is open '''Monday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM'''. The market is open every day of the year except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.

Important notes about hours:
* Individual merchant hours may vary—some open earlier or close later
* Many prepared food vendors stop serving 30-60 minutes before the market closes
* '''Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish vendors are open Wednesday through Saturday only'''

=== Sunday Hours ===

Reading Terminal Market is open on Sunday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. However, the Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch vendors, located primarily in the northwest corner of the market, '''are not open on Sunday''' (they observe a religious day of rest). These vendors are typically open Wednesday through Saturday only.

If you specifically want to visit the Pennsylvania Dutch section, plan your trip for Wednesday through Saturday. If visiting on Sunday, you'll still find the majority of vendors—including DiNic's, Bassett's, Carmen's Famous Italian Hoagies, and many others—open for business.

=== Pennsylvania Dutch Vendors ===

The Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch vendors operate '''Wednesday through Saturday only'''. The Amish merchants travel from Lancaster County to staff their stalls, approximately 60 miles from Philadelphia, and observe Sunday as a day of rest.

Twelve Amish businesses operate in the market, many clustered in the northwestern corner. Notable Pennsylvania Dutch vendors include:

* '''Beiler's Bakery and Beiler's Donuts & Salads''' - Hand-rolled doughnuts in nearly 50 flavors
* '''Dutch Eating Place''' - Traditional Pennsylvania Dutch breakfast and comfort food
* '''Fisher's Soft Pretzels''' - Authentic soft pretzels
* '''Dienner's Bar-B-Q Chicken''' - Rotisserie chicken
* '''Miller's Twist''' - Soft pretzels and baked goods
* '''Lancaster County Dairy''' - Fresh eggs, butter, and cheese<ref name="rtm-dutch">{{cite web |url=https://readingterminalmarket.org/merchant-category/pennsylvania-dutch/ |title=Pennsylvania Dutch |publisher=Reading Terminal Market |access-date=December 22, 2025}}</ref>
