Country Chick Boutique will kick-off pop-up events on Saturday
Several home-based businesses will share space with the Waitsburg Commercial Club in Waitsburg's Town Hall to retail their wares. The first vendors to commit to the project are Country Chic Boutique, and Smith Craft. Ideally Riddled, of Pasco, will sell handstamped items.
WAITSBURG-Waitsburg Commercial Club responded to requests from home base businesses and formulated a plan to support area entrepreneurs by providing a space for work and sales in Town Hall on a pop-up basis.
"Many spaces and building options were explored but Town Hall seems to be the best fit," said Commercial Club President Joy Smith.
Smith said that even though there are many empty buildings in Waitsburg, many are in need of repair or the rent is beyond the budget of a small business owner. She said the need for a shared space was emphasized during Hometown Christmas and the Blush Salon open house.
With the support of the Town Hall Board, the Commercial Club was able to secure space at Waitsburg Town Hall. Commercial Club will provide business support, signage and advertising for pop-up events.
So far, three vendors have committed to three months of shared space. Smith said there is limited room for more businesses to take advantage of the rental opportunity.
Current pop-up dates are April 6, 20, 27, May 2, 4, 20, 25, 27, June 1, 8, 22, 29-30.
"Commercial Club and the Town Hall Board are committed to working through this process as both boards see it evolve, for the benefit of Waitsburg's Main Street and the Waitsburg business community.
The current vendor line-up includes:
Country Chic Boutique
"We are a small-town women's clothing boutique. We offer styles for both the country gal and the city girl. Stylish, comfortable, and easy-to-war. We offer styles for women sized small to 3XL and accessories to highlight every outfit," said owner Jessica Welch.
Ideally Riddled
Ideally Riddled is a local hand stamped jewelry business based out of Pasco. We offer items that are fully customizable with your own personal message. The stamped pieces are made by hand, not a computer, so each is uniquely different from the next. Your item is truly one of a kind! We also offer other fun accessories like keychains, bottle openers, zipper pulls and shoe tags. We even have dog tags for your furbabies!" said owner Angie Riddle.
