This story is a companion to about the debate over whether to renew Mokena's contract with the French Market.

Part of the proposed contract extension with Bensidoun Inc. to run Mokena's French Market would move to a different tier on Bensidoun's price scale. This would put Mokena's market on the same level as Bensidoun-run markets in New Lenox and Homewood. 

Here are the prices, taken from the contract Bensidoun provides all potential vendors. Contract provided to Patch by Mokena village staff.
