January 5, 2021 - Not Diane and me but Marketplace Manna’s Jackson Store is moving from the Jackson Crossing Mall to downtown Jackson (corner of MLK and Michigan Ave) 100 S Martin Luther King Drive. Our lease was up and traffic in the Mall had steadily decreased and downtown Jackson is on the uptick with development and fun places to go. So we decided we wanted to go where the action is.
We are excited about the space and location and our overhead is going down which means more funds can be directed back to our partners and the people they help. Our moving date will be sometime in Mid-January (shooting for the MLK weekend).
Please pray for the move and that we will be able to serve even more people and share the stories of people around the world that are being touched by what we sell.
There is a great deal of work to do to get this place ready but we love a challenge and know we will be happy with the end look. If you are in the greater Jackson area and want to help with the prep and cleanup work or want to help us pack up and move the shop let me know and we will keep you informed.
As you can see the floor has dried glue from the carpet that was in there that we will have to remove (but it a pretty tile pattern).
This was one of several areas we have been asking prayer for in our future. We hope a couple others of them will be nailed down soon too! Happy New Year to all!
