Market Opportunity – Nelson/Tasman
Shows • Events • Markets • Fetes • Fairs
For over 12 years, Nathalie’s Gemtrees has been a highlight of the Nelson Market — a well-loved stall that locals and visitors return to again and again. Our handcrafted crystal Gemtrees always draw a crowd: they sparkle, they’re meaningful, and they sell.
This sale includes the flagship Nelson Market stall — one of the most successful and well-established sites at the market with 12 years of proven sales. Nathalie will continue to handcraft all Gemtrees, so the new owner receives ready-to-sell, high-quality stock and a fully supported business from day one.
Alongside the Nelson Market, Nathalie also holds regular stalls at regional events and festivals across Nelson/Tasman (craft fairs, seasonal shows, and community markets). All of these opportunities will be passed on to the right person.
This is a rare chance to step into a prime, established business presence with proven sales and a loyal customer base.
You will also have acess to selling gemstones and minerals, Nathalie will intorduce you to a NZ distributor for these.
If you’ve ever wanted to work for yourself, choose your own schedule, generate additional income, and be in control of your own business, this is your opportunity.
