North Shore Brewery To Host Women-Owned Small Business Market

PEABODY, MA — A Peabody brewery is hosting an event to highlight and support women-owned businesses across the North Shore this weekend.

Granite Coast Brewing Company is hosting its first "Fall Glow and Shine Market" open market with entirely women-owned businesses on Sunday from 9 a.m. to noon.

"It may seem strange that a brewery is hosting a market, but it's in our business model to support other small businesses, and we're so happy to host this event," Granite Coast Brewing Marketing and Events Director Amy Luckiewicz said.

The market will feature 11 North Shore businesses that offer services or products that support self-care, wellness, beauty, and style.

These businesses include: Mixed Metals Permanent Jewelry (Reading), Sip and Sea Boutique (Danvers), Scents for Cents (Salem), Creatively Caro Hand Lettering (Peabody), Tiffany’s Tasty Treats (Peabody), Body & Soul Massage (Salem), Create & Escape (Peabody), Plexus Worldwide (Salem), Brea Handmade (Reading), Nannie’s Craft Room (Peabody) and Blue Sky Creations (Salem).

"I'm thrilled to join the Glow and Shine at Grante Coast and share Brea Handmade's new fall earring collection with the community," Small-business owner Elise Granara said.

"Fall is the perfect season to re-focus on self-care. As the days get shorter and the holidays approach, it’s important to pause, recharge, and restore balance before the busy season ahead," Ann Sousa, owner of Body & Soul Massage. "Body & Soul is excited to partner with Granite Coast Brewing for Fall Glow and Shine to bring our community together in wellness and connection."

The open-air patio will be open for the family-friendly event.
