good food for the good of people

MIX Marketplace

MIX Marketplace is a downtown Ypsilanti, Michigan, indoor market held  Friday Evenings from 5pm – 9pm and Saturday from noon- 5 PM,  offering a mix of foods, handmade goods, vintage and antique wares.

There is often live music and local food stars, Bona Sera, serve extraordinary food on the last weekend of every month.

MIX Marketplace is the brainchild of two couples who are business partners, Bonnie and Ed Penet, and Leslie and Markel Leland, the same folks who also own and run MIX, a retail store across the street from MIX Marketplace in downtown Ypsilanti, Michigan.

MIX, the retail store, lives up to it’s name  by offering an eclectic and carefully chosen artistically chic mix of new and gently-used women’s clothing, accessories, gifts, art, furniture, and household goods.

  1. I have yet to make it over to Mix Marketplace, but count me in as I just heard a rumor that two of my favorite people will be preparing and serving food starting this Saturday. Bona Sera will definitely add to the Mix!

  2. Looking forward to being at the MIX this Saturday; so happy Wonder Woman and Bad Fairy will be there! Yum! Fun!

  3. Go Mix! Hope to come Saturday!

  4. Any new information on the possibility of a cheese shop in Ypsi?? I’m an EMU student so I drive through downtown Ypsi a few times a week and would LOVE to be able to stop real quick and pick up some yummy cheese :)

    Also, love what you guys are doing with this Mix Marketplace. Haven’t been yet but hope to soon!

    Hi Leslie and Markell,
    I want to bring Herb for a visit, but it’s a 2 hour drive so I wanted to make sure we don’t come when you’re out of town or someting. I sent a card with my phone number but I don’t know if you get mail there at the Mix.
    You may just e mail me if you like!
    Cheers! Jennifer Meier

    • we would LOVE to see him. Is there anything we can do to help?

      • Jennifer on said:

        no, just let me know what day would be best and where to find you and I’ll see what I can do to get him down for a visit :) So, like if Tuesdays are best, and you’ll be free to hang out for a spell, and Markell is around etc….ya know? And for sure let me know if you’re going out of town or something so I don’t pop in at the wrong time. Could you e mail me at jennifermeier9@gmail.com? Just easier for me that way.
        Peace~ Jen
