🎉 WOW… FIVE YEARS! 🎉
Five years ago, Joe and I started Foothills Community Market with a simple vision: create a place where small businesses could come together, grow, and feel supported while giving our community a place to shop local and connect.
Looking back now, it’s pretty incredible to see what that little idea has become. ❤️
Over these five years, we’ve watched businesses grow, welcomed hundreds of vendors, met thousands of customers, made friendships we never expected, celebrated successes, worked through challenges, and spent more weekends setting up tents than we could ever begin to count!
Some of our vendors have been with us since the very first day we opened, and that means more to Joe and me than we can put into words. Others are just beginning their journey with us, joining the market for the first time every week. Each one has helped shape Foothills Community Market into what it is today.
And then there are our customers. ❤️
To everyone who gets up on a weekend morning and chooses to come shop with our small businesses — whether you’ve been coming for five years or you just discovered us — thank you. Every purchase, conversation, recommendation, share, and return visit matters.
There have certainly been some long days, crazy weather, early mornings, unexpected challenges and plenty of moments when we wondered what we had gotten ourselves into. 😂 But there have been so many more moments that reminded us exactly why we started.
This market has become much more than a business to us. It has become a community.
Without our vendors, our customers, our family, and everyone who has supported us along the way, there simply wouldn’t be a Foothills Community Market.
So from Joe and me, thank you for an incredible FIVE YEARS. ❤️
We’re proud of what we’ve built together, grateful for everyone who has been part of the journey, and excited to see where the next five years take us.
Still doing what we set out to do five years ago…
Supporting small businesses — one tent at a time. ⛺️❤️
🥂 Cheers to 5 years, Tucson!
