(Louisville, KY) The MELANnaire Marketplace Holiday Market is in its second week, and we are receiving rave reviews from the layout of the storefront to the quality of the merchandise from its MELANnaires.
We invite you to stop by as the mall traffic begins to pick up as we anticipate a busy ‘Black Friday”. The marketplace displays dozens of local minority businesses all in one space so holiday shoppers can get an opportunity to support multiple small businesses at one large retail space. This week we will have some new products- clothing apparel, handcrafted jewelry, signature cotton candy, popcorn books, toys, candles and so much.
Nachand Trabue, founder of MELANnaire Marketplace says “The first weekend was successful for our entrepreneurs. It’s hard to have a storefront during the holidays but we are honored to be a vessel, a liaison to be able to organize all the businesses to work together and to see customers come in purchase their items is truly a blessing. We have gift ideas for all ages, and we invite you to stop by and see the fantastic selections,”
The MELANnaire Marketplace Holiday Market will be open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until January 2, 2024. Our store hours are open on the same schedule as Mall St. Matthews. We call every Friday “Black Owned Friday”.
The marketplace is located near the entrance of El Napal and Women’s Dillards on the backside of the mall.
