Retail Sales Associate

About us

Makers Market started 10 years ago as a holiday pop-up to feature local artisans in a way that was more shopper-friendly than a weekend craft show. You may have seen our stores in Park Meadows, Southwest Plaza, Cherry Creek, Flatirons, Briargate, Aspen Grove, Chapel Hills, and the Castle Rock Outlets.

Over the years, we have showcased 1000’s of talented local vendors. In 2015 we had an opportunity to turn our pop-ups into a year-round store with an amazing build out of Southwest Plaza Mall. This has been our homebase ever since. We also have a store upstairs in the Park Meadows Mall. Each location is special and unique and offers products you won’t find in big box stores. Thank you for supporting local!

The Makers Market at Park Meadows is looking for up to three retail team members to join our 28 person strong team. Our ideal candidate is a self-starter, punctual, computer-savvy and reliable.

Our stores are the epitome of small business. Imagine Etsy, in person. We are home to more than 150 local vendors, artisans, makers and creators. Our stores offer shoppers a chance to support these vendors with your help! You'll find the job rewarding in many ways...you're helping small business, you're keeping local artisans dreams alive and giving them a beautiful brick and mortar store to call home AND you're working with a fun, positive team!!!
