Benicia Launches Online Marketplace To Assist Local Businesses

BENICIA, CA — The city of Benicia announced the recent launch of Benicia Marketplace, an online shopping destination that allows people to browse and purchase from Benicia's local businesses from the comfort of their homes.

The computer- and mobile-friendly website offers a wide variety of items and services including clothing and apparel, artwork, take-out and delivery options from local eateries, event tickets, classes, tours and more. Additionally, citywide eGift cards, which are redeemable through the Shop Benicia program at many local businesses, can be purchased on Benicia Marketplace.

"We are thrilled to provide this service for our beloved businesses," said Teri Davena, economic development specialist for the city of Benicia. "With COVID, the past year has really transformed the way people approach retail shopping, with online browsing and shopping becoming a significant part of how people decide what to buy. Benicia Marketplace provides a modern and convenient way to support the small local businesses that define our community."

Shoppers can make purchases in a number of different ways: via PayPal through the Benicia Marketplace website, via the business’s current online store, or direct via email. Shoppers are encouraged to check Benicia Marketplace frequently for one-of-a-kind items such as art, antiques and vintage clothing.
