Fayetteville Merchants Mix & Match
The Fayetteville Merchants Association is comprised of our downtown merchants who all share the common goal of promoting our Coolest Small Town as much as possible. We consider ourselves to be cohesive, complementary businesses and we respect and care about each other and the best interests of our businesses and our community. We are our own best concierge service, and we work hard to drive business amongst ourselves.
The Merchants Mix & Match is a recurring event that happens on the last Thursday of every month from 5pm-8pm. It involves a restaurant and retail business being randomly paired up and "trading spaces" for the evening. That can mean anything from setting up a display, having a representative on site, handing out samples, etc. It's up to each merchant pairing to decide what works for them. Many of the merchants plan additional activities for that evening such as live music and pop up shops.
Each merchant who participates does their own social media marketing, which is picked up and consolidated by the Fayetteville CVB on their Facebook page (Visit Fayetteville WV - Fayetteville CVB.)
This month's event will take place on August 31st - some events to note are:
The Fayetteville CVB and Fayetteville Arts Coalition (FAC) share a space and will be hosting an open house/membership drive. Kool Beanz will have coffee available for sale and the FAC will be hosting a "Cupcakes & Conversation" event.
Water Stone Outdoors will feature an event hosted by West Virginians for Public Lands that will highlight ways we can protect the future of outdoor recreation in the New River Gorge area. There will be live music and BBQ.
Twisted Gypsy will feature local artist Chuck Nunley in front of their shop doing live art that will be available for sale during the Mix & Match. (weather permitting)
Gumbo's Cajun Restaurant will feature local artists displayed in the restaurant and in pop up shops outside (weather permitting.)
The Hobbit Hole will have a really hot sale on really cool merchandise.
The Station will host a pop up Fayetteville Farmers Market as well as local artists and will have live music outside (weather permitting.)
