Stephanie Ellis’ Open Market at 1695 Northside Drive East opened the past two Saturdays, after being closed four months while Ellis tried to meet requirements pointed out by city staff members.After Ellis spoke during a hearing on a proposed new temporary vendor ordinance June 2, Mayor Jan Moore and Statesboro City Council informally granted her permission to reopen. In fact, by their instructions to staff, the mayor and council are allowing all similar businesses to continue in operation for 90 days or until a new ordinance is adopted, and the $35 permit fee is waived.“The proposal as it stands will not allow me to do business,” Ellis told the council.Open only on Saturdays, Ellis Open Market is a flea market. Ellis charges vendors a $15 fee for spaces where they set up tables and sell their own items.
