Our beautiful space located at 113 Lakeshore Rd E, Mississauga, ON.
It is currently operating as Zest for Living until the end of January 2025.
Allow us to introduce Maker Market Collective shop – a unique take on community retail.
Maker Market Collective will be offering new ways for small businesses to reach a wider audience without the overhead costs of a physical storefront. We are dedicated to promoting and fostering a sense of community among makers and customers. We hope to make a positive impact on the local creative economy.
Our concept is straightforward:
We provide a safe space for small businesses/makers to showcase their products in our store.
At Maker Market Collective, we want to be more than just a store – we want to be a haven for local makers, a place where dreams come true. We don't want to just sell your products, we want to nurture your dreams. We want you to be part of our journey in spreading joy and community one handmade item at a time.
Our values are woven into the very fabric of who we are and what we stand for. We believe in creating a sense of community, where every maker and customer is valued and respected. Integrity is very important to us. We uphold the highest standard of honesty, transparency, and fairness in all our dealings with makers and customers.
What will set us apart is our commitment to empowering makers to take control of their experience. Makers input their inventory in our online POS system, which allows them to keep track of their sales online. They will retain 100% of their sales with bi-monthly payouts.
Above all, we cherish creativity and authenticity, celebrating the uniqueness behind each handmade item and inspiring others to embrace their own creativity.
