SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF) is giving small businesses in the Springfield area a new opportunity to sell their merchandise for the holiday season.
Beginning on Sunday, November 24, the airport will launch a program for small business vendors called “SGF Market” in time for the holiday season. Approved vendors will be able to set up booths in public areas in the airline terminal and sell their merchandise at the airport.
“Small businesses play an important role in the local economy, and our region has a history of small businesses growing into substantial corporations,” says Brian Weiler, the airport’s director. “The airport itself is an economic driver in this community, so it makes sense for SGF to create a space for small businesses to grow.”
Saga continues over proposed development concerning University Heights
The SGF Market program will take place on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays from the mid-morning to early afternoon — which the airport says are the busiest times for them.
