Weekly markets are markets that are held on a specific day of the week in different locations. Traders set up temporary shops to sell everyday items to customers, then close up in the evening. While convenient for customers, weekly markets lack permanence and quality control, and customers may be cheated since the traders only operate for a single day each week.
