Young Entrepreneurs Featured at Pop-Up Shop

The Closet, a downtown Port Huron dress shop, is hosting a Pop-Up Shop this weekend featuring four young female entrepreneurs.

The Pop-Up Shop is an opportunity for these young ladies to share their products with a bigger audience, and develop their business skills.

The young entrepreneurs will be setting up shop at The Closet at 235 Huron Avenue from 10 AM until 3 PM.

Participating young entrepreneurs are Marisa Nahas, creator of Two Peace jewelry; Ruby Walker, the baker behind Boo Bakes With Love; Ashlyn Smith, owner of Joyful Designs; and Abby Mitchell, of Made by May Bird. The girls will be selling a variety of jewelry, baked goods & hot cocoa bombs, home decor, and crocheted gifts.

Customers who visit the store will receive free popcorn to enjoy while they shop, and they can also learn more about A Beautiful Me, the nonprofit organization that manages The Closet.

The Closet is home to A Beautiful Me’s emerge360 program that is designed to train teen girls in business and retail skills through mentorship and hands-on experience.
