FREE wifi is now available for shoppers and traders in Carmarthen and Llanelli indoor markets.
The facility was launched in the market halls on Wednesday, May 25.
It comes as part of an investment of almost £1million in Llanelli Market and has been launched within the national Love Your Local Market campaign.
For the first time shoppers will now be able to surf the net through Wi-Fi as they shop and enjoy a refreshment break in the market’s cafes.
It also means traders will be able to utillise the free wifi as part of their business and offer an on-line service.
New Carmarthen market Trader Tom Morgan from BlackKat , said “Having Wi-Fi inside the market means we can reach a lot more customers, some of whom do not frequent the market as often as they should. It also gives us the tools to promote our products and hopefully attract additional customers to the market “
Carmarthenshire County Council’s executive board member for the markets, Cllr David Jenkins, said: “This is great news for shoppers, traders and the town centres. It brings the markets into the 21st Century and not only will attract shoppers but will also help traders boost their businesses.”
