Welcome to Oakes Brothers Marketplace!

A passion for shopping local has Treasure Valley’s premier small business shopping destination right here in Caldwell!

 In 1905 the Oakes Brothers built a general store to serve the community and was reimagined during 2021 into a destination shopping mall featuring independently owned retail shops ran by local artisans and entrepreneurs offering a shopping experience unique-to-Caldwell. The Oakes Brothers building is on the Steunenberg Block in the Historic District downtown along Indian Creek Plaza and Main Street.

Fast forward to 2022, the journey to become Treasure Valley’s premier small business shopping destination is finding success.  With a distinctive atrium-style interior, the Marketplace showcases three levels of smaller sized spaces each featuring arched gated entries and original 1905 red brick.  Throughout the Marketplace you will discover a mix of entrepreneurs offering their specialized skills as artisans, retail curators and professional services. 

We believe that shopping is best when it’s a personal experience -- seeing things up close and personal, meeting the shop owners and learning how their products are made or procured. This creates a one-of-a-kind shopping experience which only small businesses can offer.

Our shop owners bring their talents and passion to create something unique, something not found anywhere else. Most items in our shops are locally sourced or locally made as well! With a mix of new, vintage and repurposed art, apparel, furniture and home goods, the Marketplace is a one-stop shopping destination where our visitors will be sure to find the perfect gift, item for a special occasion or something just for themselves.

We envision the Oakes Brothers Marketplace as a vibrant gathering of local and artisan producers, independently owned retail and service providers and the customers they serve.
