Rhode Island Small Business Village Launches

This summer, Providence Place is launching the Rhode Island Small Business Village — a vibrant marketplace featuring 40+ local artisans and entrepreneurs spread across three storefronts on the first floor. Spearheaded by Skills for Rhode Island’s Future, the pop-up taps into the mall’s booming foot traffic — especially with the World Cup — to give small businesses a high-visibility stage. It’s a grassroots boost for Rhode Island’s hustle culture, turning local creativity into commerce right in the heart of the city. Running all summer, this initiative is a smart, community-driven play to spotlight hidden gems and spark big sales. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
