In/on/at the market
Today my question is about prepositions:)
While I can understand the difference between "in the market" (physically inside) and "on the market" (generally on sale) I'm confused with "at the market". Could you please explain to me the usage of preposition "at".
I saw a number of proper names such as "Molly's at the market" (a bar), "Judy's at the market" (a restaurant), "Showbox at the market" (an entertainment venue), "Nebraska at the market" (a shopping centre) and "Inn at the market", but no rule as when to use it in a common speech.
Thank you!

I mean you can only say at.

At describes where something is located.
In/inside means you're surrounded by an enclosure/boundary.
At/in are interchangeable here, unless the market is outdoors. In the case of the latter, you can only say in.
