Have been around for nearly a decade. The Coral Gables Well ’Canes market launched in 2010 through a partnership with Student Government and Human Resources. Since then, the market expanded to the Miller School campus, and the number of vendors doubled.
Are named after the UM wellness program—Well ’Canes. Market vendors sell more than farmed goods, so the name was changed to the Well ’Canes Marketplace to emphasize the University’s efforts to promote overall well-being for its faculty, staff, and students.
Attract more than 1,000 visitors per week. That’s potentially 52,000 UM faculty, staff, and student purchases per year to support local small businesses—a win for all!
