Located on Main Street in Lititz, Bunyaad Marketplace features more than 1,500 hand-knotted fair trade rugs from Pakistan, made by fairly paid adults. Moving their rugs from the Banyaad Rug Room at the former Ten Thousand Villages (TTV) store in Ephrata, Bunyaad Marketplace opened its doors in Lititz in December 2020, adding to its rug inventory many of the fair trade lines previously sold at the TTV store, including Equal Exchange, Fair Trade Federation Friends and Burlap & Barrel.

Jenni Leister, who co-owns the store with her husband, Yousaf Chaman, enthuses, “Though items are available for purchase online, nothing replaces a visit to our store. We love when kids visit, and even have tunnels under our rugs for them to climb through while their parent shop.”
