It’s been quiet over here! Our heads have been down working and scheming and planning, but Nimble is excited to share this conversation between us (Stephanie and David) and Garrett Greco of @tampabaydeveloper . We took a deep dive on all things micro retail, our goals for Nimble, and so so much more. Give it a listen and let us know what you think! @YouTube link in bio - also available on @spotify and @applepodcasts
Nimble and our brand-spankin'-new Award of Excellence from Hillsborough County received a very special write-up this week. Big thank you to 83 Degrees Media and Chris Curry! Check out the link in our bio.
ABOUT LAST NIGHT!!! Thanks Hillsborough County for presenting us with an Award of Excellence in the categories of Commercial, Redevelopment, Environmental and (Community) Participation for our first Nimble Shop. We can't wait for more shops to be released into the wild in 2025! #hillsboroughcounty #tinyshop #buildtiny #prefab #yborcity
Nimble is seeking an energetic, flexible (dare we say NIMBLE) human to work directly with our company founders as a Jack or Jill of All Trades. Perhaps you've recently graduated with a skill set in Architecture, Real Estate, Interior Design, Marketing, or Engineering - or maybe you're just interested in these fields? We are looking for someone who has a passion for learning and the courage to get their feet wet in a lot of different waters. Every day will be different but they'll never be boring! A sample day might include email or phone coordination with outside consultants (communication skills are a must!), selecting and order samples or construction materials, and content creation / social media work. Experience with power tools and a willingness to get a little dirty is a huge bonus!
You'll be working with us (the two weirdos in the photo) here at our HQ in beautiful Ybor City (Tampa), FL, with some local travel to job sites, etc required. Remote work is available sometimes, depending on the projects at hand. The perfect fit will be open to being with us for the long haul as we grow and experiment together as a team. Your experience level is flexible and not as important as your energy! Pay is hourly (estimated 20-30 hrs/week) and based on experience.
If you're interested, please DM us and say a little bit about why you think you'd be a good fit. We'll be in touch!
A reminder that trying new things is a challenge, but DANG it can also be a rush! We have been so lucky to work with amazing folks over the last month to make The Merry Little Market happen - and its success has led us to plan more markets featuring Nimble Shops in the future (look for the next one February 3)! Thanks to @shopprocuretpa for making these markets happen, and to @fieldseven.co for this beautiful video.
Join us in Ybor this Saturday (12/30) for 2023's last little market, complete with local vendors, live entertainment, and of course food + drink from Pete's Ybor! The Nimble shop will be open and selling local wares from @shopprocuretpa - so come on over and buy yourself something you *really* wanted from Santa this year.
We're taking a moment this week to breathe + be proud of ourselves for pulling off Saturday's Merry Little Market in Ybor City. It was SO FULFILLING to activate a vacant lot with our first Nimble Shop (which was merchandised perfectly by our friends at Procure) in combination with many other vendors and entertainers. We had perfect weather to boot! Speaking of, this Saturday is looking pretty nasty for our second market, so keep an eye out for a rescheduled date. In the meantime, the shop isn't going anywhere for a bit - so if you're in the area give us a drive-by at 1805 E. 4th Avenue (across from Pete's Ybor). We won't be mad if you need to take some pics. 😉🥰
We are lucky to have our friend Alli Bell along side us as a vendor in the Merry Little Market (this Saturday 12/9 and next Saturday 12/16)! She'll have pieces for sale and will be live painting on site - make sure to get on her list for a pet commission (done from a photo). Have we mentioned the market is dog friendly and there's a dog park right across the street?
Animal portraits have been Alli’s artistic journey for the past 13 years. She has created 100+ pet commissions on canvas for owners who dearly love their four-legged family members. Alli’s new line of work focuses on the abstract. A combination of the abstract painting and use of words on canvas, creates an interesting composition.
We are excited to share that our dear friends at Jib @jibprojects will be selling their beautiful wood creations at the Merry Little Market in Ybor both Saturdays, 12/9 and 12/16! From Jib, "We are an art and design collective co-founded in Tampa last year by Kathleen and David Bly. We create bespoke lighting, furniture, and objects that explore connection to time and place through material."
Our very first NIMBLE SHOP is ready for her debut here in Tampa! We are excited to to partner with some special local folks for The Merry Little Market, a holiday pop-up in Ybor City that you won't want to miss. Over two Saturdays in December (12/9 and 12/16), our little shop will be installed across from Pete's Ybor for your viewing and shopping pleasure. Local vendors include our friends at @shopprocuretpa (gifts, housewares and more by women makers) as well as @jibprojects (bespoke lighting, furniture and objects) and others curated by @fayven . We'll have live music and bagels + mimosas will be available thanks to @petes_general .
Pictured is one of David's early sketches of what a Nimble shop might look like.
We're excited to show you how this design has evolved and come to life in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
