Marci Perez Proprietor of the Mariposa Marketplace


 

Twenty Nine stores opened in Mariposa this week.  They are all under one roof in the Mariposa Market Place, located in the Old Trabucco Store in Historic Downtown Mariposa, 5024 "B" Hwy 140.

The Marketplace has 4,000 square feet with 29 individual shops and 32 vendors.  The stores offer arts, crafts, jewelry, antiques, treasures, photography, plants and collectibles.  They are open seven days a week from  10 A.M .until 8.P.M. Monday - Saturday, and 12 A.M. until 7 P.M. on Sundays. 
 
The Market Place is owned and run by Marci Perez.  Marci and her husband retired to Mariposa in 2000.  Before that she worked in the Aerospace Industry.
Since coming to Mariposa she has worked at several part time jobs including the school district.  She loves the old Trabucco Building and hated to see it empty.  She made a decision and in less than 2 months got the Market up and running with a full complement of vendors.  There is now a waiting list of 20 vendors that would like to display their wares. 
 
The old building is a great historical setting.  The huge old rock wall on the right as you enter makes a perfect backdrop.  The pressed tin ceiling, old windows and cast iron staircase are beautiful.  The lighting and all the decorations in each "store" make for an outstanding display.  Several of the merchants in town have booths with items from their stores with directions to their larger establishments.
