Have you been looking for the ultimate weekend activity in the eastern suburbs? Look no further than Urban Market Co. After a successful first season of trading in 2024, Urban Market Co. is returning to Burnside with two events over the summer.
On Sunday, December 1st Urban Market Co. will be holding a market at the Burnside Ballroom and then again next year on Saturday, February 1st at the Burnside Town Hall.
At these events, local small businesses and stallholders will be showcasing the best fashion, food and commodities on offer. There will be a diverse range of goods available like woven bags, handmade cards, custom jewellery, pins, coffee, candles and more.
Co-owners Jenay Petropoulas and Tiana Salpigidis are cousins turned business partners. They came up with the idea to start the market over coffee.
“The reason it came about is because Tiana started off with a small business and I was putting my clothing in rent-a-rack stores and I was sick of paying commission to them,” Jenay said. “I thought, let’s do something and collaborate the two together.”
Urban Market Co. features both rooms for small businesses to grow and to sell pre-loved clothes. This blended the partner’s original ideas into one market space for all interests.
“Urban Market Co. warmly welcome a diverse array of participants: designers, sustainable thrifters, collectors of arts, plants, records and furniture, retailers, hobbyists and food enthusiasts,” Jenay said.
Looking to draw in shoppers from the new Burnside Village development, the market is setting the stage for a busy summer season. The venues each provide ample showrooms and have plenty of parking spaces. Over the next few months, Urban Market Co. even plan to have a few outdoor venues. This will be a prime location for thrifting enthusiasts and general shoppers alike.
Whether you’re keen to browse the stalls or transform your wardrobe with the rent-a-rack, these markets are the perfect excuse to get a group of girlfriends together or to have a calm solo shopping trip.
