The Maker and Merchant

The Maker & Merchant is a vibrant, locally focused retail collective that brings together small businesses, artisans, and entrepreneurs under one roof. With a storefront in Auburn (and locations across the Southeast), it offers a unique brick-and-mortar experience where shoppers can explore handmade jewelry, apparel, home décor, art, and more, all crafted by independent creators. The Maker & Merchant handles the storefront operations, inventory, and staffing, letting makers focus on their craft and providing the community with a curated destination for shopping local.
