background

In the beginning our mission was to support our Makers community that had lost venues to sell at during the holiday season in 2020 due to the cancellation of in-person craft Markets and Events. We hoped that those who wanted to shop local for their gift giving would find all they desired at the store and help stimulate the local economy by spending their hard earned dollars within their community supporting real humans.
The Bay Centre mall loved the project and we found a home there for the Christmas season, and signed on for longer a few months later. Our second location at Mattick's Farm opened in 2021 to diversify the reach of the talent we had partnered with.
Both stores balance each other beautifully and we are so glad we took that leap. Market Collective looks forward to being a platform to support the local + handmade movement for many years to come, continually adding new and exciting products and Vendors and sharing the local love with our dedicated supporters!
