In 2023, we launched the market with a mission to elevate veteran entrepreneurship and create a platform where service, creativity, and resilience converge. This initiative is more than retail—it’s a tribute to the stories behind the goods. Every item sold carries the imprint of a veteran’s journey, offering customers a chance to support small businesses while honoring the spirit of service.
There are over 1.6 million veteran-owned businesses in the United States, representing about 5.5% of all U.S. business owners, meaning one in every 18 business owners is a veteran. Our Veteran Makers Market allows us to highlight the veteran entrepreneurial spirit. We welcome the makers to our location and offer the community an opportunity to support small veteran-owned businesses. Come out, grab a cup of coffee or lemonade and some of our in house-made cookies, chat with a veteran and kickstart your holiday shopping.
The market will run 10am to 3pm, with coffee and lemonade donated and served by Twist & Stout Mobile Bar Experience. At noon, all veterans present will muster for a group photo donated by OnBase Productions. Sticky Spoons Store is located at 11801 Pucker St, Niles MI. Veterans and active duty servicemembers with ID always receive a 10% discount at the Store.
