WHAT ARE SNAP-EBT TOKENS?

For those customers who have SNAP cards, we offer SNAP tokens at the Market Info desk. These tokens can be used to purchase any edible products at the Market that are NOT meant to be consumed on the premises (i.e. you can purchase a bag of coffee beans with SNAP tokens, but not a cup of coffee).

DEBIT TOKENS

No cash? No problem! Customers with debit cards can bring them to the Market Info desk and use them to buy tokens that work just like cash with any vendor in the market! A fifty cent convenience fee will apply.

Tokens can be purchased in increments of $5 and vendors are able to give cash back if you need change.Empire Market SNAP graphic
