Providence Launches Small Business Village

Providence’s new Rhode Island Small Business Village inside Providence Place mall is giving local entrepreneurs a major spotlight this summer, featuring over forty Rhode Island makers and sellers to cash in on World Cup crowds. Partnered with Skills for Rhode Island’s Future and Centreville Bank, the pop-up taps into the FanZone’s surge—already drawing 25,000+ visitors—to boost not just food vendors, but apparel, jewelry, wellness, and specialty goods too. Running through August 30th, it’s a smart, inclusive push to let Rhode Island’s creative heartbeat shine alongside global excitement.
