The Saturday Morning Shoppe is one of the most celebrated events in the Tampa Bay region. This shopping extravaganza takes over Westshore Plaza (250 Westshore Plaza) on March 19 from 11am-4pm. This event is made possible by a host of sponsors, which includes Raymond James Bank, Michele Raynor for Congress, and Simply Care.

Renee Edwards is the brains behind the Saturday Morning Shoppe operation. The goal of the event has always been to create economic development opportunities for emerging businesses through these fast growing monthly markets. Edwards has also founded the Saturday Morning Shoppe Academy to provide business coaching, business etiquette, resources, marketing, and licensure that would allow hobby vendors to grow their business and income.
