Although once house to a number of various sectors, Southwold's economic situation nowadays is generally based upon solutions, and particularly hotels, vacation lodging, wedding catering, and also tourism. With the surrounding locations mainly given over to agriculture, the community is a crucial industrial centre for the area, with a variety of independent stores, cafés and also dining establishments; and also a market on Mondays as well as Thursdays. Nevertheless, there has been a significant fad in recent times for retailing chains, consisting of food as well as beverages, apparel and stationery stores, to take over previously independent retail properties. Adnams Brewery is located in Southwold, as well as is the town's biggest single employer. Although the angling fleet as well as the market typically is much lessened, Southwold Harbour continues to be among the primary angling ports on the Suffolk coast. In 2012, added centers for the fleet were built there, as part of the repair work and reinstatement of the Harbour's North Wall.
