Plans are to start hosting a MarketPlace in the Waterset community on Saturday, December 15.
“If community supports us, we will run year-round,” said organizer, Jen McCafferty.
Jen’s Market Inc., doing business as Jen’s MarketPlace, is an Apollo Beach marketing and promotions company owned by McCafferty that specializes in planning and management of corporate events, seminars, private parties and more.
McCafferty’s business philosophy states, “By helping other businesses grow and flourish in our community, we all benefit, hopefully prosper and are able to give back to the charities and non-profits that are meaningful to us.” Each month a portion of Jen’s Market proceeds go to support a local non-profit organization.
She wants to remind everyone to get out and support local businesses on Saturday, December 21, “Shop Small Business Day.”
