Christmas shopping isn't something normally associated with airports. But this year, if all goes to according to plan, you'll be able to do just that at the Springfield airport.
Starting Sunday, November 24, 2024, the Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF) will launch “SGF Market.” This program will create an opportunity for small business vendors to sell their wares at SGF during holiday travel season.
“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.”
SGF Market will allow approved vendors to set up booths in the public area of the airline terminal during the busiest travel days and times, which are mid-morning to early afternoon on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. “Our hope is that airport employees and travelers alike will welcome the chance to purchase last minute gifts, a treat for themselves, or locally made souvenirs from the Ozarks,” says Joy Latimer, SGF Market coordinator. “We're excited to give small businesses a chance to sell their products in the untapped market of the airport, as well as giving our visitors more retail options."
