Side hustlers combine to open doors in town for Christmas shopping
A TEAM of entrepreneurs have banded together to open a pop-up shop in Byrnes Street Mareeba with the goal of sharing their passion for side hustling ahead of Christmas.
Women-owned businesses Milinder Farming, El Ranchero’s, 26 Candles Co, SOM Style, Gifted Designs, Mummabear Western, B balmed and The Soap Box 4880 have geared up together to put the pop-up together in the old Ringer’s Western shopfront.
Coordinator and owner of El Ranchero’s Tammy Sivyer said the store was a great way to create exposure for their side hustles while also giving shoppers a more wholesome experience this Christmas.
“We are all really hands-on people; we want people to come in and see and feel our products and share them with everyone,” she said.
“I think people get a lot out of that kind of interaction.
“We are all self-made and self-taught women who are either stay-at-home mums or just looking to make a little extra cash.”
The shopfront will stay open up until 23 December at 117 Byrnes Street, Mareeba.
