A bit more about us

Celebrating and empowering local businesses and entrepreneurs

Val and Roula saw an opportunity to create a platform that would not only provide a space for small business owners to showcase and sell their products, but also offer networking opportunities and community support. They believe that small businesses are the backbone of any community, and that by supporting them, they can help to build stronger and more vibrant communities overall.

Val and Roula’s vision for Side Hustle Markets is to create a supportive and inclusive space where entrepreneurs can come together to share their passion, creativity, and expertise. Through their dedication and hard work, they have been able to build a successful vendor show that has become a go-to destination for anyone looking to support small businesses and discover unique and high-quality products.
