A message from the owner 🌿
I want to take a moment to address recent concerns that have been shared publicly regarding delayed vendor payments at Northside Marketplace.
First and foremost, vendors experiencing delays, have every right to feel frustrated. These delays are real, and we fully recognize the impact they have on small businesses and their cash flow.
When I took over Northside Marketplace in late 2022, I stepped into a model that was already facing significant financial challenges. Since that time, my team and I have worked to make meaningful changes toward long-term sustainability, but like many small businesses, the past year has intensified financial pressures in ways that have been difficult to fully overcome.
An unfortunate reality is that, at times, these challenges have resulted in delayed payments to vendors. While we have made efforts to communicate transparently about these delays, we understand that communication does not replace timely payment. In some cases, that transparency may have come too late to be meaningful, and for that, I take full responsibility.
My top priority has been preserving Northside Marketplace as a space for entrepreneurship, creativity, and community. That mission has guided every decision, even in difficult moments. I have personally committed to ensuring that every vendor is paid in full and have used outside income to help close gaps wherever possible.
Since the beginning of this year, we have been actively engaged in conversations with the City of Akron, local foundations, and funding partners to secure support that will stabilize and strengthen the Marketplace for the future. These processes take time, but they are an important part of building a more sustainable path forward.
I am deeply grateful to the vendors who have shown patience and understanding during this time. At the same time, we fully respect and understand the decisions of those who have chosen to step away. These challenges should not become a burden that our vendors are expected to carry.
We remain committed to doing the work necessary to uplift the Marketplace and everyone who is a part of it.
With care and respect,
Justin Lepley 🖤

Last night, I had the honor of partnering with @plexuslgbt to host our very first Werk It Out co-working session! 🩷💚
Plexus, the Northeast Ohio LGBT + Allied Chamber of Commerce, partnered with us at the Northside Marketplace to kickstart Werk It Out, a quarterly co-working series designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re looking for space to work, collaborate, network, eat, drink, laugh, get a massage, or simply be in community with others, this is absolutely the space for you 💻🍹
I especially enjoyed the introductory mindfulness & breathing exercises put on by the wonderful @gently.unbound 🧘🏽♂️
Let me know if you’re interested in attending or contributing to our next session in June — I already can’t wait! 🤩

We are excited to welcome Angela and Otto to Northside Marketplace today for our Young Entrepreneur pop up market. Stop by and catch them in action until 2 PM as they share their businesses, connect with the community, and showcase the products they have been working so hard to create.
Opportunities like this are what it is all about. Creating space for young people to step into their ideas, build confidence, and experience what it means to bring something of their own into the world.
Grateful, as always, for our continued collaboration with the Young Entrepreneur Institute and for the chance to play a small part in making this such a meaningful and fun experience. 🧡🖤

The Lepley & Co. Mother’s Day site is officially live, and we are so excited for what we have in store this season. 🌸
Now is the perfect time to place your order ahead of the rush and make sure the moms and mother figures in your life feel celebrated in a meaningful way. Every arrangement is designed with care, intention, and a whole lot of love right here in our community.
When you shop with us, you are supporting a local business and the people behind it. You are choosing thoughtfully designed florals over impersonal, out-of-state order gatherers that often charge more in fees while delivering less value. Most importantly, you are helping keep those dollars right here in our local economy.
We cannot wait to create something beautiful for you this Mother’s Day. 💐
🚗 Delivering in nearly all of Stark & Summit Counties
