Salute to Military Spouses

On Thursday, May 29, we’re partnering with the Hampton Roads Veterans Employment Center and Blue Star Families to host an engaging, uplifting experience to help military spouses feel at home—and we’d love for your business to be a part of it.

The goal is to provide the opportunity to showcase our local businesses so that we can increase awareness to the military families entering Hampton Roads. 

The event begins at Bryant & Stratton College in Hampton at 9:00 AM, where attendees will gather to hear from community partners, enjoy refreshments, and meet local businesses. We’re inviting retailers like you to set up a vendor table during this portion of the event to showcase your products or services before the group heads out for a shopping experience at Peninsula Town Center later that day.

This is a great opportunity to:

• Get your business in front of military families
• Hand out promotional materials or offer special discounts
• Make personal connections with potential new customers
• Receive recognition through our event promotions and social media
• If you’re an experience-based business (like a spa or service provider), offer samples or mini-demos to show off what you do best

By participating as a vendor, you’ll be helping us create a warm, welcoming environment that highlights the amazing retail community we have here in Hampton.
