Westside Market has opened its third location in metro Atlanta. The Roswell location (606 Holcomb Bridge Rd. Suite 140) is the consignment retailer’s newest location with space for 350 vendors.
The market features home decor, including clothing, furniture, jewelry, gifts, art, rugs, and other accessories. The Roswell location focuses on North Atlanta with many of the consignors living near the store.
A ribbon cutting will be held on Aug. 25 at 9 a.m. followed by a Grand Opening celebration on Aug. 26. It will include a raffle to raise money for the Fur Kids Roswelldog and cat shelter.
Frank Bell, Manager of Westside Market Roswell, says having local consignors helps to know the market, “We have Roswell area artisans and consignors here who really know what the customers in north Atlanta like and are interested in purchasing.”
Supporting small businesses is a big focus at Westside Market Roswell. The consigned space concept allows small business owners to rent space that can grow as their business grows.
-
New business owners aren’t faced with the added initial cost of rent, utilities, and other start up costs
-
They are able to rent spaces inside the market from just $45 up to $9,000 a month depending on their needs as their businesses grow
-
A small commission (10%) of each sale goes to Westside Market
Entrepreneurship is also fostered. The Roswell location has a “Community Market” spotlight location which each week spotlights a charity or young entrepreneur displaying their product in a highlighted and very visible location.
Other Events: The store will hold member meet breakfasts regularly that allow the consignors to meet each other and learn retailing skills.
