Hive Marketplace was born from a deep love of all things small business.

Founded by JD and Michael, we started with one little store and a big dream - to create a space that truly champions local makers and creatives. With over 20 years of experience in the market and retail industry, and after growing a separate brand to six figures in under 12 months, we knew we had something valuable to offer.

We’ve spent years learning the ins and outs of small business; what works, what doesn’t, and what it really takes to thrive. We've poured that knowledge into Hive Marketplace. We’re not just passionate; we're hands-on, helpful, and genuinely invested in seeing others succeed. We go above and beyond to make sure every small business we work with feels supported, seen, and celebrated.

The idea for Hive Marketplace started with a simple thought: we knew we could build a better collective. We’d seen so many that relied on volunteer work, lacked structure, or didn’t truly benefit the businesses they were meant to support. So we flipped the script. We took all the best parts, community, collaboration, creativity, and left the rest behind. No volunteering, no guesswork. Just a well-run, supportive space where small businesses can shine.

Since opening our first store in 2023, Hive Marketplace has grown into three beautiful locations, supported over 100 small businesses, and built a team of 8 amazing staff members who help bring our vision to life every day.

Whether you're a maker, a shopper, or just curious about what we do, welcome to Hive Marketplace.

We’re so glad you’re here.
