Magnolia Grace Marketplace: A collective of Delta area small businesses

Magnolia Grace Marketplace is owned by Erin Griffin and her family, Justin (husband), Carson and Kensley (kids). Her mom, Sheila King, is the smiling face most see the majority of the time when they come in.

“My favorite part is it’s helping other small businesses get off the ground. People have really liked the fact that they can come to one place and see such a variety of items; they love the ‘local’ aspect of it,” said Griffin.

Current vendors are:

• Griffin Girls – Leland
• Delta Swanky Girl – Lake Village, AR
• Gin & Willow Collective – Greenville
• The Confetti Co – Greenville
• Will Branton Art – Leland
• Templete Hughes Art – Greenville
• MS Delta Fire Fly – Leland
• High Cotton Design Co – Greenville

There is currently a waiting list of potential vendors.

“We chose Leland because we have lived here for almost ten years,” said Griffin. “When we saw the beginning of the downtown revitalization, we knew we wanted to be a part of that.”

“Leland is such a supportive community, and they have really shown us the love since we opened the doors,” continued Griffin. “We have met some of the best people so far! I have always wanted to have a gift store; and, when I started my jewelry business, Griffin Girls, I saw the potential and opportunity to finally open it.”

Located at 201 North Main Street, the marketplace is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m
