AMC Collective looking to expand
SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — A Sioux Falls business that touts itself as a 'year-round craft fair' is celebrating a year of being around. In April 2024, AMC Collective opened its doors on South Minnesota Avenue to serve as a showcase for locally handmade crafts and artwork. And the business is already experiencing growing pains. What's in South Dakota's settlement with the NCAA There's plenty of conversation amid the creativity in the back room at AMC Collective. 'It's a lot of talking about where do you get your wool, where do you get your yard. And we talk about our kids and social things, too,' vendor Kathryn Daniels said. Kathryn Daniels is one of the vendors who sells her needle-felting products at AMC Collective. 'The needle has barbs on the end of it and every time you stab into it, it tangles the wool together and solidifies it, so you're sculpting with a needle,' Daniels said. Daniels' own business is called 'Ouch I Felt That.' 'Because I stab myself every day. Not intentionally, inadvertently,' Daniels said. Vendor Cheryl Pappadackis sells her handmade coasters at AMC Collective. 'And then I take a needle and weave and they come right off the loom and it looks like this,' Pappadackis said. Owner Carrie Thompson opened AMC Collective in April 2024. She has 25 vendors selling their products in her store. AMC stands for artists, makers and crafters. 'It's all about the artists and all about the art and being creative, and community,' Thompson said. This is a family enterprise. Thompson's mother sells her artwork at the store. 'I do a little of everything. That's one of my paintings. And then I do fabric garlands and lot of different fabric things,' Cindy Thompson said. Carrie Thompson says AMC Collective, like any other business, has had its ups and downs in the year it's been open. She says the tight economy plays a role in the down times. 'People are scared to spend their money sometimes you know, and hand-made items tend to be a little more expensive because there's a person behind it that has their expenses they have to cover,' Thompson said. 'Usually, you don't get compensated for time when people buy your things for your time. But you're doing it because you enjoy it,' Pappadackis said. One way AMC Collective gets more customers through the door is by hosting crafting workshops and classes, including how to crochet. 'I try to show people the different things that they can make and educate them so you can make them lovely dolls, flowers. But the way it all starts is with a nice ball of yarn,' crochet instructor Anna Flowers said. The business is always trying to recruit new vendors, as well. One of the newest, is Alicia Cafaro, who brought her New Jersey-based cookie enterprise into the store this month. 'I make biscotti. My company's called Bits-scotti, because they're miniature. But they are crunchy little Italian cookies, normally served with coffee or wine,' Cafaro said. AMC Collective is entering its second year in expansion mode. They've already added an extra room into their workshop. Now, they're looking at adding an additional 800 square feet in a storage area behind the shop. 'People with like furniture or larger sculptures or something like that, we could have a home for those kinds of things to be sold here because right now, we really don't,' Thompson said. Vendors say AMC Collective offers them exposure of their products they might not receive by going it alone. They find strength in numbers by stitching together this productive business arrangement. Thompson also plans on hosting birthday parties at her store. She's added five new vendors this month alone. Those vendors can work three-hour shifts to help cover the cost of their rent.

A March shopping event to support 14 local businesses
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – If you're looking for something to do in between Summit League games or just on our nicer March weekends, multiple local businesses have come together for a shopping event. Seasoned Style on the corner of 10th Street and Walts Avenue in Sioux Falls is just one of 14 stores customers can check out this month for a March Madness Shop Hop. DTSF offering free rides to Summit League Tournament 'As a retailer, I have noticed that not only have sales been down recently but also just traffic in general has been down,' Christi Petersen, owner of Seasoned Style, said. 'So, I was trying to think of some ways to build up some excitement and maybe get some foot traffic. So, I thought of the Shop Hop adventure so that everybody has an experience to do while they're out shopping.'Participating in the Shop Hop is simple — all you have to do is visit the 14 stores, get the card stamped at each and then bring it back for a chance to win a grand prize. 'You don't have to have a purchase to get the stamp,' Petersen said. 'We just really want you to visit all the locations. They're all around Sioux Falls, some in Hartford, some in Harrisburg.'At Seasoned Style you can find vintage home decor and furniture, but there is a wide range of offerings between all of the participating Shop Hop stores. 'There's some clothing boutiques, some gift boutiques, home decor stores, bakeries. We have a wellness, like a juice bar, so all different types of businesses for you to explore,' Petersen said. AMC Collective along Minnesota Avenue is also on the list.'AMC Collective is a marketplace for artists, makers and crafters to sell their items. So, it's kind of like a year-round craft show,' Carrie Thompson, owner of AMC Collective, said. Both Petersen and Thompson hope the Shop Hop allows customers to experience something new. 'Just find the new little hidden gems. See all the different things that maybe you didn't know were around and just check out different stores,' Thompson said. When you get a punch card all filled out, you can return it to any of the participating stores to be entered into the drawing for the grand prize, which Petersen says includes something from each of the 14 stores.
