St. Pete celebrates local appeal with the Pier’s Marketplace. Located just past the Pier’s Gateway, the Marketplace features an array of 17 small businesses that are based in the Tampa Bay area. The vendors have set up shop in featured market stalls and pop-up tents and provide a variety of goods and services from pre-packaged specialty food to art and accessories.
“It’s great that we have them right at the front door of the pier,” said Stephanie Addis, a director with Colliers International, who leased out the vendor spaces. “It’s so important, especially now, when the small business community needs us.”
