Does it alternate like that all the way down? Vendor name then
market? If so, here is one possibility (not tested):
Sub foofer()
lRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 3 To lRow Step 2
Cells(i, 1).ClearContents
Next
End Sub

Also, the code I poste is assuming that you have a header row.
Example:
Row 1 - Header
Row 2 - 28th Street Market
Row 3 - 051911 11/15/04

If you do not have a header row, simply change the i variable in the
For Next loop to a 2.
