History of Made in Akron
From 2009-2010, Made in Akron was a retail boutique in Highland Square that celebrated small businesses and local artists.
Sadly, the economic problems of the day limited our opportunities and we closed the store in the fall of 2010.
Made in Akron re-launched in late 2023 with a renewed energy & commitment to help local small businesses, musicians, artists and non-profit groups (aka our "Owners") succeed.
In 2010, Jason Scala & friends stenciled the Made in Akron logo on the side of our first store. Here's the video of their epic achievement.
