Robson Public Market is a little old and underrated, with owners who do not seem to want to maintain it, leading to a decline. The building itself has issues, including automatic doors that never seem to work and lack proper accessibility, making it difficult for those in wheelchairs. The washrooms are in dire need of repair. While it is a nice, very bright market, it has many empty spaces and not as many stalls as it used to. It currently houses various businesses including luggage stores, an insurance provider, a travel agency, a wine shop, a 24-hour vape shop, a cell phone repair store, and a butcher. The businesses within are still great. There is an amazing coffee shop on the main floor that serves excellent coffee and pastries, with cakes made in-house. The upstairs food court has great food, including a spot with delicious beef noodles and fresh tangulu. A donair place is also great. There is a barber with super friendly staff, including a set of identical twins, known for good, affordable haircuts. The market could be a great neighbourhood resource, especially if it had more vendors like a fresh market with local produce. However, many food court locations are not open after 5pm, and it has never really caught on with people going inside to use it consistently.

Could be a fear neighbourhood resource, however, very few food court locations, many not open after 5z. Washrooms are in dire need of repair. Men’s had 2 urinals out of service and 1 sink broken. It appears that the owners do not care about the decline.
