Pettah Market, also called Manning Market, spreads around the Khan Clock Tower in Colombo's Pettah district and is Sri Lanka's oldest and busiest open-air wholesale quarter, organised by cross street: 3rd Cross Street concentrates textile wholesaling, 4th and 5th Cross Streets move spices, onions and fresh produce, while other streets handle mobile electronics and leather household goods (trader count to be verified).
The market is the upstream distribution source for goods landed at Colombo Port, with retailers and small traders from all over Sri Lanka arriving in the morning to buy in bulk. For Chinese exporters of apparel fabrics, general merchandise, mobile accessories, small electronics and gifts, it is a place to meet Colombo import wholesalers and reach the island-wide retail network.
