Charlotte City Market

Many of the market's early entrepreneurs are owners who are high-aptitude and under-capitalized that are launching their first businesses. The market supports them as they navigate the first years so they are strengthening all areas of their business.

The market is the desired destination to develop innovative food and retail concepts and the authentic community gathering spot for all residents and visitors.

The market launched its experiential education program, the hub for inclusivity, innovation, and entrepreneurship (hiive). Hiive has graduated 40 small businesses through its 9-week curriculum focused on bolstering business fundamentals and helping align their small business with the business of center city.
