With the market operating under interim CEO's (Victor Ailakis this month, Chris Mason next month) we thought this would be a good time to recall some quotes from traders on what they would do if made CEO for a day. We wonder if our interim CEO's could be tempted?
The interesting suggestion that we trade in M shed was made way back in April 2011 by Xenia Charalambous, long before String bean Alley came to fruition. Perhaps we should be consulting Xenia on when our renewal program is likely to get under way.

I'd give everyone a day off to spend with family.
I'd make M shed a trading part of the market.
I’d get all
traders to do a survey to assess the general health of trade.
Put electricity
in. I could do it myself.
Free rent for a
week.
I’d make every
member of government (all levels) and every QVM employee run a stall for a day
so they would appreciate the importance of our activity and why our customers
appreciate the uniqueness we offer.
Walk around all
day and talk to traders about their concerns.
I would try to
have a better understanding of stallholders and their individual needs.
Rent free if
it's Sunday.
Advertising -
big promotion.
I'd put in heating and I'd trade longer in summer.
I'd declare a
smile day for traders at least once a week.
I'd re-route all
airport buses via QVM.
I'd spend time
talking directly with stallholders.
(P) Free rent
for one day. (B)Free parking for stall holders.
I'd cover in open
areas for customer comfort and I'd get rid of stall duplication.
Give each stallholder a slab of VB on Queens Birthday .
I'd take time to
visit my loyal subjects.
We have much
cultural diversity amongst our traders. I would like to see more cultural art
from places like China, Turkey, Iran, Italy. More culture, less K- mart.
I'd hire a big bus and drive around Melbourne CBD collecting
customers.
I'd put operating
instructions on the knee taps in the ladies and I'd install heating.
I'd move my neighbour, Tim Moore, a few stalls away.
