Hi there word buffs. Been trawling the thesaurus for a suitable alternative to "market place" or "market-place". Trading post is too frontiersman, though I like its play on post, bazaar sounds too much like bizarre, piazza like pizza and corner shop too small and dusty with old sweet jars on the shelf. Free market is not accurate (it costs to advertise) and market trader gives me Del Boy and Rodders. Market fayre has bonnets and ribbons and supermarket is overburdened with souless isles and baked beans. Up market is up its own, down market..nobody wants to go there. Any suggestions for maybe a modern twist on this place where goods are bought and sold. There may be an "e" in there, but it sounds 90's.

What about...

Emporium... or

iVend

What sentence do you want to use it in?

"emporium on the hill", Dylan Thomas in Under Milkwood..often used ironically, ie delusions of grandeur.
i-vend thats nice

there is no sentence, it is to stand alone on a website instead of sponsored ads and in place of google ads, as you see on sporting life with sky market place. It could just be the websites name plus ads, as in Google. It just seemed like an opportunity to do something different. .................. ads (Ads)

Rialto
