You have not shopped until you have shopped at the RUSSELL BAZAAR, open weekends in Detroit. Inspired by the great street marketplaces of Europe, but installed in a converted Albert Kahn factory, the Russell Bazaar is a world of shops, all under one roof. More than 150 different vendors have rented booths in the 60,000 sq. ft. Bazaar.
“Shopping at the Russell Bazaar will be great fun,” said Dennis Kefallinos, the owner of the Russell Industrial Center and creator of the Russell Bazaar. “We have people selling original clothing designs, jewelry, shoes, accessories, spa products, gifts, household items, electronics and books.” Niki’s Pizza and Loco – two restaurants in Kefallinos’s Dionysia Properties Hospitality Group – are already open in the Bazaar food court. Other food and beverage vendors include a mini-donut shop, a Good Humor cart, a chocolate shop and several booths selling baked goods.
The Russell Bazaar is located in the historic Russell Industrial Center, seven interconnected buildings designed by Albert Kahn and finished in 1925 on a 25-acre site near I-75 and I-94 in Detroit. Kefallinos purchased the Center in 2003 to create a community for small companies in creative industries. At the same time he saw an opportunity to build a unique shopping and entertainment destination for families that captures the unique creative and industrial spirit of Detroit and gives it a festive, international flair.
The Russell Bazaar is based on street markets found all over the world, except the Russell Bazaar is under one roof. It provides a terrific experience for shoppers and gives local artists, craftspeople, and many other types of small businesses a low-cost “storefront” in a lively environment. It’s generating excitement, jobs and economic opportunity at the same time.
At the Russell Bazaar you'll find more than 150 specialty shops offering unique designerwear, jewelry, hand-made arts and crafts housewares, food, gifts, bath and beauty products all under one roof. Enjoy entertainment and giveaways too. Visit the Russell Bazaar at the Russell Industrial Center today.
