Veteran Makers Market

VETERAN MAKERS MARKET AT STICKY SPOONS JAM

Sunday, October 25th

On Sunday, October 25th, from 10am to 3pm, Sticky Spoons Jam is proud to host its Veteran Makers Market featuring six small veteran-owned businesses, each bringing their unique craft to the table - from macrame and woodwork, to candles, and more.

Aiye Akhigbe, the owner of Sticky Spoons Jam LLC is a Navy veteran. In 2023, she launched the market with a mission to highlight veteran entrepreneurship. With 1.6 million veteran-owned businesses in the United States, this event is more than retail; it’s a tribute to the stories behind the goods, that carry the imprint of a veteran’s journey. It allows customers a chance to support small businesses while honoring the spirit of service.

Akhigbe said, “With our market, we welcome our fellow veterans 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. At noon, all veterans present will muster for a group photo.

StickySpoons Store is located at 11801 Pucker St, Niles, MI. Veterans and active duty service members with ID always receive a 10% discount at the Store.
