You can find a full map of the Preston Market on their website - https://www.prestonmarket.com.au/market-map/ SAM at SAM & SONS Thanks to Sam Virgona of Sam & Sons, a Preston Market fruiterer and vegetter (is that even a thing?). Sam’s been at the market for 47 years. Sam only “sells the best”, something his customers kept telling us. Sam would like to retire soon but he’s worried that he won’t be able to leave Preston (ever again).
