West Market
About
Eldoret's go-to for mitumba that's actually good quality and absurdly cheap. Friday is the big day when vendors pile in with everything from bedsheets to baby clothes, but a few stalls hustle all week long.

A farm fresh produce market that is very easy to locate and similarly easy to navigate. Since the relocation from the central business district, this open air market has been a hive of activity with the cream of the fresh products available at the best value that money can buy. Anything and everything is available from fresh from fresh fruit to eat and to carry, to a variety of fresh organic vegetables (both traditional and contemporary) to suit every taste that can be imagined. There are also a great selection of dried starch and legumes seeds for sale. The best, though, is the fresh, sun dried, fried and salted fish section. Here you can get it cooked for you to enjoy on site, cooked for taking away, or packed as is for you to prepare for yourself. It is a wonderful place to visit. No worries, no regrets!

You can find all sorts of 2nd hand items in this market from clothing, toys to utensils. It's market day is usually on Fridays where different vendors converge to sell their wares. However, you will find a few stalls during the day all week round selling an array of stuff. Does not major in foodstuff except for a few sellers who are trying their luck. The market day has been nicknamed "bendover" Fridays due the nature of selecting stuff that are usually laid down in open for you to choose what is best. There is a municipal market though small and cannot hold all traders thus the stalls all round. The market serves as a "mini factory" as you will find tailors who works on fittings, ironing and making gunny bags from recycled materials for storing stock by the traders and dyeing of clothes. There are also a few stores that will store goods overnight for a small fee and a number of eateries that also serve students from nearby primary schools (township, union, st Mary's and st Patrick's).

A very nice place with good clothes for a common mwananchi with some small amount of cash. Better than a botique I say. We all know botique guys buy clothes from them and clean them. If you get to Eldoret, get yourself some clothes at very affordable prices.

An open air market at Eldoret just besides the road. Mainly deals with selling second hand cloths populary know as mitumba. The market is quite big and easily accessible since it's just besides the road. Cloths are super cheap and of good quality. They have soo much from bedsheets, baby cloths, adult cloths, shoes, buckets. They have market days when stuffs are soo much and also cheap to acquire.
