Millcreek Business Market Opportunity! 

The Millcreek Business Council will be hosting the Millcreek Business Market on Thursday, September 14, 2023, from 4:00 – 8:00 PM at Millcreek Common (1354 East Chambers Ave, Millcreek, UT, 84106). This is a great opportunity for businesses to connect, market, and hire. Set up will take place at 3:00 PM on event day. More details will come as the event gets closer.

The Millcreek Business Market has three purposes:

• Connect – we want local licensed Millcreek Businesses to connect with the Millcreek community. This will be a great opportunity to show the community what it is that you do. This event will be held during Food Truck Thursday, the Millcreek Common skate loop will be open, and we are inviting individuals from all over Millcreek and the Valley to join. We hope this event will be a fun celebration for your business and one that really draws a crowd.

• Market – along the lines of connecting with the community, this will be an amazing place to market your business. You can bring any sort of fliers, marketing materials, create a fun activity for the public, and sell your goods with no additional business license required! The Millcreek Business Council and Millcreek City will also help advertise this event with your company’s logos on our marketing. Marketing will go out in the Millcreek Business Council E-Newsletter, the Millcreek City E-Newsletter, go on the Digital District Sign at Millcreek Common, and fliers will be going out all over the valley including to universities in Northern Utah, local Millcreek Businesses, apartment buildings, and more! This is a great opportunity to reach the community.

• Hire – we are working with Granite School District and the Department of Workforce Services to bring in job seekers from around the valley. We would love it if your business were hiring to showcase that to the public and for your business to connect with potential employees during the event.

This event is an exclusive opportunity for licensed Millcreek Businesses. It is a NONREFUNDABLE $50 to register for this event.

• Your $50 registration fee includes 10 free skate passes around the Millcreek Common skate loop ($120 value) for the event night only! Invite your employees, families, and friends to help you with this event and enjoy some free skating that night!

• Don’t have your own event tent? Rent one of ours for an additional (and optional) $100! Bringing your own event tents are encouraged and a free option.

We only have 9 spots left, so REGISTER TODAY! Deadline to register by August 12th, 2023!
