Blumenfeld Development Group Hosts Local Valentine's Day Market

Off of the success of the December Winter Market, the Blumenfeld Development Group (BDG) hosted a special Valentine’s Day Market at the Bulova Corporate Center Atrium located at 75-20 Astoria Blvd in East Elmhurst, New York.

Eleven local small businesses from Queens had the opportunity to market their goods and services at the Bulova Corporate Center Atrium located on the main floor.

“We are proud to support the new and returning local Queens businesses, which together created a successful Valentine’s Day Market,” said Brad Blumenfeld, Vice President, Blumenfeld Development Group.

Blumenfeld added, “We would like to thank the Queens Chamber of Commerce and Queens Economic Development Corporation for their continued support, and our hope is to build upon this collaboration at the Bulova Corporate Center throughout the year.”

The Blumenfeld Development Group worked closely with MiQ (formerly Made in Queens) which is a curated collection of locally made, quality products that are sold online, in select locations, and at pop-up shops. http://www.madeinqueens.nyc/. Again, MiQ coordinated the vendors to expand the selection of products and businesses represented.
