Some 100 Alabama farmers, makers and food/drink vendors sell their goods at the Market at Pepper Place each Saturday. By offering the free financial workshop series, the market hopes to strengthen its vendors’ businesses and achieve a much greater goal for Birmingham and Alabama.
“If we can help our vendors be more successful, the market will be more successful, customers will be happier and the city and its economy will benefit.”—Leigh Sloss-Corra, executive director, the Market at Pepper Place
At the open house mixer, you’ll also hear from special guests Ashlee Ammons and Kerry Schrader, the mother-daughter team behind Mixtroz.
Earlier this year, Ammons and Schrader won Steve Case’s “Rise of the Rest” competition in Birmingham. They’ll share their startup story and explain how to use the Mixtroz platform to build a stronger network and small business community.
