City Market in Raleigh was built on October 1, 1914. The architect for the project was Wayne County native James Matthew Kennedy. The market flourished until the advent of supermarkets in the 1950s which led to its demise. Joe Hakan and his son purchased and upgraded the place in the 1990s and it prospered again.[2][3]
