Andrews Young Entrepreneurs Market

Observe the opportunity for children to launch their very own startup business!

Kids develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace.

Join us for our Third Young Entrepreneurs event in Andrews!! Young Entrepreneurs will be setting up in the parking lot of 1026 Main Street on Friday, May 23 from 12am-4pm. We will be selling alongside the Andrews farmers market!

Each young entrepreneur vendor will be responsible for bringing their own 10x10 tent, we recommend tent weights for each tent leg, tables, table coverings and chairs in addition to your items/presentations. If you do not have a market tent, it’s totally fine setting up without one, we will give you the same amount of area to sell at. Make sure you bring plenty of water to drink and pack some lunch and snacks. There will also be lots of food trucks afterwards (food truck Friday) and restaurant options. We will have a "rustic" restroom available in the building in the parking lot to use.

You will need to prepare to arrive no later than 11am to unload and setup. If you need more time than an hour to setup, you are welcome to come as early 10am. They will let you drive to your booth location to unload.

From the four lane (hwy 19) take Main street/2nd street towards the town of Andrews. Once you see the United Community Bank on your right, take that right turn (Fairview Rd). Take your next left (3rd St) and drive all the way to locust street from there and turn left. There is Parking at the United Methodist Church in Andrews

Anybody interested in selling food items make yourself familiar with these laws: https://cottagefoodlaws.com/north-carolina-cottage-food-laws/
The Young Entrepreneurs are required to sell handmade or homesteaded items at these markets. Hope you make can make it!

This event is sponsored by Acton Academy, the Acton School of Business, and the generous support of our donors and volunteers. We all believe that principled entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation.

Whether an entrepreneur is famous like Steve Jobs or Sara Blakely or they are one of the thousands of unsung business owners across this country, these are the people who make sacrifices to innovate, create jobs and serve their communities.
