In celebration of Women’s History Month, Pitt Street Brewing Company will hold the Women’s Market - Women Owned Small Business event in Greenville, North Carolina with nine women-owned businesses tomorrow from 6 to 9 p.m.

Mary Ann Ricks, taproom manager at Pitt Street Brewing Company, wrote in an email statement the purpose of this event is to promote and encourage people to shop at small and independent women owned businesses in eastern NC. These businesses, she wrote, will be held in the Pitt Street Brewing back taproom to showcase their creations ranging from goods to artwork.

“We are a women-managed brewery and love the opportunity to showcase other women-owned businesses in the area!” Ricks wrote.

These markets, Ricks wrote, began being hosted after COVID-19 and events and fairs were being canceled. She wrote that people being interested in the market encouraged the decision to host another Women’s Networking event.

Lauren Hamilton, owner of The Standard Dog Salon and Supply Company, said this is her businesses first community outreach event.

Hamilton said Pitt Street Brewing and her business already had good interactions through social media that led to a relationship growth between the two.

“We’re trying to branch out a little bit more and get involved with Greenville as a whole,” Hamilton said.

Amajha Slade, owner of Majhaa Creations, said items she will be promoting at the event will be indoor mats and outdoor mats, which will range from $25 to $45.

Slade said that she came across the event through social media, Instagram, and reached out about participating.

“I would just want to say to anyone if you have any ideas, any inspiration that you feel in your heart, always go for it and push, no matter how hard you think it may be,” Slade said.
