History

From 2009-2010, Made in Akron was a retail boutique in Highland Square that celebrated small businesses and local artists.

In late 2023, Made in Akron re-launched with an ambitious plan to help Akron area micro- & small-businesses succeed.

Mission

To help Akron micro- & small-businesses succeed with a blend of virtual and physical marketing, sales incentives and promotional opportunities via our Marketplace, Directory and a range of creative gift box options.

Vision

Locally owned, Akron area small businesses need to thrive! Supporting local by shopping local is good for everyone.

Made in Akron will attract and engage Akron residents and visitors with our Marketplace, Directory and gift boxes, and share the stories of our Owners through a combination of virtual and physical experiences.
