T
he New Americans International Market is currently open daily at Millcreek Common until June 23. This market provides a space for refugees, immigrants and new Americans to showcase and sell their specialty foods and products inspired by their native countries. “The New Americans International Market includes individuals in the community,” said Chase Gray who works in the public market for Millcreek City. “Millcreek wants to create new shops in the downtown space and these people want to grow their businesses. This is the start of what the city hopes will populate the shops on the bottom floors of the many buildings that will get built in Millcreek. It gives a preview of what that could look like in those shops when occupied by these local businesses,” Gray said. DeSolyMar Handmade Pottery was created by Maria Soledad Pitta-Perez. She is from Peru and has been in Utah for 24 years. “My pottery is in one of the stalls. I have been working with Millcreek since last year and it has been great,” Soledad Pitta-Perez said. “I have done pottery since I was 11 years old. It was just a hobby. I started making more and more and my husband encouraged me to sell my pottery so I tried and was invited to different events, and I decided to do this as a business about five years ago.
