Opened in October 2023, MOMENT Marketplace was a new storefront concept featuring locally made and locally designed goods from over 75 makers and artists. Powered by the team behind San José Made, MOMENT Marketplace represented a wonderful way to celebrate and support our small business community.
Every three months, MOMENT Marketplace brought a new theme to its storefront, featuring products and one-of-a-kind pieces carefully curated based on that fun new theme.
MOMENT Marketplace was located in the Pop-Up Shop at the Google Visitor Experience, located at Google’s Gradient Canopy office (formerly “Charleston East”) in Mountain View, California.
MOMENT Marketplace opened to the public on Thursday, October 12, 2023, and ended its pop-up on Sunday, August 18, 2024.
