How did the idea of ​​creating the market come about?

We have always been consumers of local products, I also have my own brand of coffee.

Entrepreneurs are used to offering our products at fairs and markets. When the pandemic arrived, this stopped, so sales dropped as contact with people was lost.

What can consumers find?

We have several lines with many product options, including sauces, snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, keto options, gluten free, sugar free and vegan.

In addition, there is an exclusive space for specialty coffee, gifts for coffee lovers and an area called "Little but tough", which are smaller brands or need less space when exhibiting like some jewelry or accessory brands, they are small in size. size but big on quality and made with love.

What is the concept?

We started looking for high-traffic points in the country and we created this store with the essence of a market and fair, with a space for each brand that allows people to know who is behind them, that's why we have screens where you can see the faces, as well as business information.

In addition, the managers are trained to give detailed information about what is offered.

When we created the concept we thought that this store could live in any part of the world, we wanted to get away from the “pobrecito” or the tiny brand, we created a visually spectacular space.
