The exciting plans, which will bring new traders to the town, are part of the Welshpool town centre regeneration scheme.
Nearly 20 mini-shops, complete with slate roofs, will be built on the ground floor of the town hall. They will be open on market and non-market days.
Town clerk Robert Robinson revealed today the 19 outlets had already been snapped up.
And this week's town council heard the Burgess Lands Trust, a local charitable trust, had agreed to provide the £85,000 needed to fund the initiative.
Mr Robinson said planning permission had already been obtained for the scheme and work would start on October 3.
The scheme will complement the £1 million revamp of the town hall.
