Former magazine editor, HGTV star and community leader Sonja Rasula launched Unique Markets in 2008 from her living room. A shopping addict and lifelong maker, she wanted to create a new vision of retail: something in-between a trade show and a craft fair, something that would get people offline and excited to meet small businesses.

And so the very first ‘pop-up market’ was born.

This is more than shopping. It’s connection, inspiration, and community-based activism.
