Reading Terminal Market – Fresh into the Future

Annie Allman joined the nonprofit Reading Terminal Market Corporation mid pandemic, January 2021.  Bringing a strong background in leading marketing, customer service and operations for casino, resort and racing properties across the US, Annie has focused on creating a welcoming environment for merchants and shoppers.  She has brought in multiple new merchants and recruited a new management team.  Her biggest challenge is communicating the non-profit status and funding needs of this National Historic Landmark…and also funding and implementing approximately $30M of deferred maintenance while keeping the market open seven days a week!  Annie is a third generation Alaskan who originally came to Philadelphia to attend Penn. She holds a BA, University of Pennsylvania and an MBA, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.  She is married to a lifelong Philadelphian and raised her two daughters in the Greater Philadelphia area.
