Young Entrepreneurs Market Day Set to Spark Business Spirit in Potchefstroom - 2 August

Fresh Pick Gears Up for Youth-Focused Market Event

On Saturday, 2 August 2025, Fresh Pick in Potchefstroom will host its first-ever Young Entrepreneurs Market Day, giving local kids and teens a chance to trade more than just Pokémon cards. The event is tailored for aspiring business minds aged 9 to 18 and will run from 10:00 to 13:00 (though sellers will be up and running by 9:00). The venue? Fresh Pick, 48 Wilgen Street, a familiar spot for farm-fresh produce and now, mini moguls in the making.

What to Expect on the Day

Expect everything from homemade treats to hand-crafted wonders, as participants set up stalls with their own creations and innovations. Whether it’s knitted wristbands, baked goods, or homemade slime (yes, that craze still lives), the young sellers will get a real taste of the hustle. Visitors can also indulge in waffles, hot cocoa, and the charming chaos that only kids running businesses can provide.

Fresh Pick promises a festive outdoor vibe with stalls dotted under gazebos and trees, weather permitting, and an invitation to “turn big ideas into real businesses.” Basically, it's Dragon’s Den without the scary billionaires.
