The Downtown Detroit Markets have seen 13 small businesses return for multiple seasons, and many have used the opportunity as a launching pad toward a brick-and-mortar storefront. Now in its fifth year, the Downtown Detroit Markets have supported 119 small businesses, who generated nearly $5 million in overall sales. The perennial market activation is supported by a $2.3 million overall investment by the Rocket Community Fund, the nonprofit arm of Rocket Companies and the organization that administers Bedrock’s philanthropic initiatives. “These markets are about more than space – this is a platform for our small business owners to test new products, connect with new customers and convert them into long-term supporters.” “Owning a small business is a powerful tool for individual and community growth, and the Rocket Community Fund is proud to support our local entrepreneurs through the Downtown Detroit Markets,” said Laura Grannemann, Vice President of the Rocket Community Fund. Local small businesses will be popping up to participate in Detroit’s robust retail scene while providing engaging, diverse experiences for local residents, visitors from Southeast Michigan and out-of-town travelers.
