With the generous support of Atlas Tech, I Serve With Joy is proud to announce that following a joyful Grand Opening Celebration on November 25, the Joy Market Holiday Edition officially began serving the community on November 26, 2025.
This year’s expanded holiday marketplace — known as Santa’s Workshop — is located in the middle of the Citadel Mall Food Court, creating a warm and festive hub where families can gather, shop and experience the true spirit of the season.
A Beacon of Light in Uncertain Times
This holiday season has been especially heavy for many families across South Carolina. With rising living costs, sudden layoffs, and widespread uncertainty, it has taken countless households longer to feel the joy of the season. I Serve With Joy created the Joy Market to be a beacon of hope during these unknown times — a place where families can breathe again, feel seen, shop affordably, and connect with a community that truly cares. Our mission is to restore joy where it has been lost and to remind families that no one has to navigate the holidays alone.
A Holiday Marketplace Where Entrepreneurs Can Rise
Thanks to the support of partners like Atlas Tech, the Joy Market provides local makers, crafters, and small businesses the opportunity to showcase their products in a high-traffic holiday environment. Vendors are able to join daily, weekly, or for multi-week setups, allowing entrepreneurs at any stage to participate. Txt: JOY MARKET to 347-774-0155.
“The Joy Market was created with you in mind,” said founder Joy Campbell. “So many of our entrepreneurs are rebuilding after hardship. This marketplace gives them a chance to shine, grow, and be supported by the community.”
