Stanley Marketplace is no ordinary marketplace. It is a community of like-minded businesses and people who believe in doing things differently: sustainably, thoughtfully, creatively, with more than the bottom line in mind. Here is a great description from the folks at Stanley Marketplace. "We believe in bringing people together and making them happy. We believe in making connections: between neighborhoods and generations and strangers and friends. We believe the best rules are simple and clear: Love your neighbor. Leave each place better than you found it. Be good and do good. We believe there’s no point in making a profit if you’re not also making a difference. We believe one of the best ways to take care of yourself is to take care of others. We believe in honoring the history of the land you temporarily occupy. Bob Stanley was the first American to fly a jet plane. He invented ejection seats. There is a history of innovation here, of boldness. We embrace it.
We embrace collaboration and curiosity, too. Also good food and music and dancing in the grass. We are locally inspired and community desired. We asked ourselves what would make the best marketplace in the universe. Then we asked our neighbors. And then we built it. We are guided by the belief that there is nothing better than spending time with family and friends in a beautiful place with excellent food and incredible views. Every day is an opportunity to put goodness into the world. Positivity is contagious. Kindness is a virtue. We live these beliefs, and that’s why we are all at home here. A store is where people go to buy things. Stanley Marketplace is where people go to live: to eat, drink, work, play, learn, grow, gather, and explore, to see friends and make new ones.
We’re Stanley. And we’re here for good."
