Biz503 S03E06 - Portland Mercado
from Portland Radio Project · host Portland Radio Project
Today we’re devoting an entire episode to the Portland Mercado, a unique Latino public market at 72nd and Foster in Southeast Portland. That’s just a mile up the street from our studios here at Portland Radio Project, in a 7,000-square-foot space on the site of an old car lot. Now the building is painted in bright colors, with a variety of retail businesses inside and a row of food carts outside featuring cuisine from all across Latin America. The Mercado is a project of Hacienda CDC, which is probably best known for its housing and youth programs, and it isn’t just a market -- it’s a business incubator supporting over three dozen small start-up businesses. On today's show, we’ll be talking about the past, present and future of the Mercado. This week's Biz503 hosts: Wendy Kotila, Business Coach, Startup Mentor and Teacher. Rick Turoczy, Editor of Silicon Florist This week's guests: Shea Flaherty Betin, Director of Portland Mercado Chris Bailey, Microenterprise Developer at Hacienda CDC Listen to Biz503 Fridays, 1:00 pm. at 99.1 FM in the heart of Portland, or stream from anywhere worldwide at PRP.fm.
