SBC Communications Chair
Coconut Barrel, NULL
The last 30 years I spent in the corporate world prepared me in so many ways for my next adventure. I always dreamed of opening a business which could in some way serve the community. Praying for such direction, I received a clear vision in 2018 to open a craft mall which is when Coconut Barrel "The Artisan Market" was born. In the 2 years we have been open, we have expanded from 4,000 to 9,000 sq. ft., added a weekly farmers market and a food truck park for Food Trucks to serve lunch. We also have craft classes, pop-up boutiques and other events throughout the year.
