The Campbell’s Company hosted the second round of its Camden Business Bazaar on Thursday May 8th, at its corporate headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. Timed just before Mother’s Day, the event highlighted nine 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, baked goods, chocolates, essential oils, candles, and accessories.

The event built on the success of the first Camden Business Bazaar held earlier this 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.

Camden Business Bazaar participants included:

Nika Corbett with Curate Noir
Gatty Mercy with The Urban Scent
Jennifer Ortiz with Creations by Jenn
Bruce Smith with Hope Chocolates Inc
Arlene Felder with Glassy Brown Cookies
Britany Frazier with Relentless Studios
Hope Mead with Works of Hope
