Sarah Reynosa, the owner of Fuego Street Tacos, has expressed her frustration over the high rent at Reno Public Market, which she believes is the driving force behind her decision to leave. Despite raising her concerns with RPM management and working tirelessly to keep costs down, she was unable to afford the rent.
In response to businesses leaving or shutting down, RPM released a statement acknowledging that turnover in merchants is a normal part of the business cycle, especially in a place like the Food Hall where businesses may be testing new concepts. The statement also highlighted that customer preferences are constantly evolving, and RPM is committed to evaluating new experiences and offerings to meet these changing needs.
Reno Public Market opened its doors last year and has become a popular destination for dining, shopping, and entertainment. The property management expressed appreciation for all businesses that have partnered with them and those who are planning to join. They did not comment on individual businesses publicly out of respect for the merchants.
