Shab Chic Marketplace opening “With this being such a unique concept, we ran into a lot of hurdles that caused delay, such as getting lights, ensuring coding was up to par, etc.,” said Shab Chic co-owner Ebony Doss. “It’s in time for Black Friday not your normal brick and mortar, therefore the requirements varied from one thing to the next. We do understand owning your own store can be a little scary, therefore we opened up more incen- tives and created some discounts (for vendors) to make it a little less scary.” In addition to the existing Shab Chic ten- ants My Heavenly Creations Shop and Sun- dries and Wanderlust 901, the marketplace ven- dors will include 9.OH.1, The Label, Janey Bees Jems, Cry Baby and In With the Old. Shoppers will be able to choose from curated fashions from Europe, Africa and Asia; T-shirts, hoodies and hats; handcrafted bath and body products and jewelry creations. Doss and co-owner Brian Christion are plan- ning live music and movie nights as part of the holi- day marketplace. Confirmed so far are Trap Jazz performing on Dec. 8 and 22, Snowden School’s choir performing on Dec. 14 and Christmas carol- ing at the market at various times. The popup will include a yet-to-be named cof- fee purveyor, local charities and an MMDC infor- mation station. According to Vonesha Mitchell, MMDC com- munity and economic development program man- ager, large storefronts can pose many barriers for small shops, but shipping containers can be a great stepping stone. “What (Shab Chic) is doing directly impacts Brian Christion (left) and Ebony Doss are owners of the Shab Chic Marketplace in the Edge District.
