Ellsworth pop-up event spurs downtown growth
A December pop-up event in Ellsworth called the Holiday Marketplace has persuaded several businesses to set up permanent shops in town.
Downeast Cheesecakes will open in early April at 169 Main St., the boutique shop Elizabeth’s is now across the street at the former Grasshopper space, and the Maine Alpaca Experience has opened its doors down the street, the Ellsworth American reported.
Downeast Cheesecakes founders Jordan Crosby and Nick Sarro told the newspaper they will continue to make their products at their bakery in Franklin, and will sell them in Ellsworth.
The Holiday Marketplace proved fruitful for business.
“We had a ton of people,” Sarro told the Ellsworth American.
Downeast Cheesecakes started in early 2016 and offers cheesecake and a few other desserts baked and sold in mason jars.
