🐝 DuPont’s Hive Market Finds Its New Home

If you live in DuPont, there’s a new local business making waves downtown — and it’s more than just a shop.

The Hive Market has officially moved into the former Mince Market space on Wilmington Drive, just past Viva Mexican Restaurant, and it’s shaping up to be a creative community hub.

A Marketplace With a Twist

This isn’t your average gift shop. The Hive Market blends:

• Consignment boutique – perfect for gently used treasures

• Vendor collective – featuring local makers and small businesses

• DIY maker space – including a t-shirt bar with its own heat press station

Inside, you’ll also find handmade goods, fresh flowers, books, balloons, furniture, and unique gifts — a mix that makes each visit feel like discovery.

The Backroom: Bold & One-of-a-Kind

Tucked away inside is The Backroom — a curated space dedicated to bolder, one-of-a-kind pieces you won’t spot anywhere else. Think statement furniture, edgy art, and conversation-starter items that bring character to your home.

Building Community in Downtown DuPont

The Hive Market is planning to host weekly vendor markets, creating new opportunities for small businesses and makers to showcase their work while giving locals fresh reasons to stop by downtown.

And in a town like DuPont, where military families move in and out frequently, the shop’s consignment system is designed with them in mind — a smart way to buy and sell while staying flexible.
