About Us
Our Marketplace
Bread & Basket is a boutique-style public market filled with small business brands from across the U.S.
We offer shelf space to local entrepreneurs in the Battle Creek/Kalamazoo region.
Our physical location is in downtown Battle Creek, Michigan at 38 East Michigan Ave.
We showcase the unique character of women of color-owned businesses locally,
while advocating for WOC-owned businesses from around the U.S. We intentionally source from WOC first,
minority-owned second, and then everyone else.
Basically, we act as the intermediary to the market for women of color (a.k.a the “hype man”).
In addition to shelf space, we offer our entrepreneur partners training and shared resources; advocating for capital investment
throughout critical city-wide and regional momentum.
Our Mission
We offer a unique introduction to a delightfully curated collection of high-quality, handmade, and affordable goods.
Our Tribe
If you love shopping local in a calm & welcoming environment, enjoy supporting your hometown, and want to see good things happen in Battle Creek... then you are our kind of people!
We invite you to shop with us for everyday goods and specialty items including self-care, home goods, and memorable gifts.
We offer all-natural bath & body products, clothing & accessories, specialty foods, luxury candles, room diffusers/sprays, and so much more!
Our Values
Bread & Basket values retail equity.
That means we source from and create space for a diversity of makers.
With our purchasing power, we intentionally invest in
and stock more than 30 Minority-owned brands.
We work to elevate Woman-owned and Women of Color-owned brands in particular and source products from across the U.S. (and a few select partnerships from cause-based brands uplifting women's empowerment outside of the U.S.).
