BizBeat: Capital Mall begins "Trade Days"

Once a month, the Capital Mall in Jefferson City will offer home-based businesses, arts and crafts vendors, and direct sale businesses the opportunity to set up shop.

The first Trade Days will be held Saturday, Oct. 18, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Mall's 10,000 square foot community room will open up with vendor exhibits of all types.

"It lets vendors take advantage of mall traffic without having to rent a storefront," General Manager Jamie Reed said.

Vendors pay a booth fee, and admission to the public is free. The event will take place one Saturday each month.

Interested vendors should call the mall office at 573-893-5437 or visit www.capitalmall.com.
