The Campbell’s Company hosted a Camden Business Bazaar on Thursday May 7th, at its corporate headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. Timed just before Mother’s Day, the event highlighted seven local small businesses that have completed the Camden Verified verification process through the Buy Camden 1st initiative.
Organized in collaboration with the Latin American Economic Development Association (LAEDA), the bazaar aimed to support local entrepreneurship and provide Campbell employees with a seasonal shopping experience focused on community-based vendors. The company’s cafeteria was transformed into a vibrant marketplace, featuring decorated vendor tables stocked with flowers, chocolates, essential oils, candles, and accessories.
The event built on the continued success of bazaars held through out the year, which drew significant employee interest and strong vendor sales. The return of the event underscored Campbell’s continued commitment to fostering local economic growth and creating meaningful opportunities for small businesses in the city.
