Visit the River Shop and support up-and-coming local small businesses!
Discover the River Shop — where local talent meets opportunity!
Located on the first floor of the Rock It! Lab, the River Shop is a vibrant co-retail space that highlights the work of emerging entrepreneurs, offering a curated selection of creative goods, artisan products, and unique merchandise.
More than just a retail space, the River Shop also serves as a Proof of Concept program, where business owners receive hands-on training in marketing, product distribution, and exceptional customer service — equipping them with the tools to grow and thrive.
Join us every Saturday from 10AM to 3PM! It’s the perfect opportunity to support up-and-coming small businesses and discover what’s new, next, and locally made.
