The Doors Are Open. Now We Need You.

Pontiac, Michigan  ·  The Foundry

The doors are open. The floor is set. The Riker Building at 35 W Huron Street in downtown Pontiac is alive again. Now we need you.

The Foundry exists because people showed up. Vendors who believed in the space before it was finished. Customers who came through the door before we had everything figured out. Supporters who understood what we were trying to build and decided it was worth backing.

That’s still how this works. The Foundry grows because the community around it decides it’s worth growing. Here’s how you can be part of it.

Come In

The simplest thing you can do is show up. Come see the floor. Browse the vintage. Meet the makers. Bring someone who hasn’t been to downtown Pontiac in a while and show them what’s happening here.

We’re open Tuesday through Sunday. Weekly programming every day — Try-It Tuesday, Side Hustle Wednesday, City Stories Live on Thursday, Sound Sessions on Friday, Discovery Day on Saturday, Community Sunday. There’s always something happening.

Sell Here

If you make things, sell vintage, or have a small business that needs a physical presence — The Foundry has a space for you. Founding vendor pods, consignment, and pop-up opportunities are available.

Chris Hubel is the founder of History Loves Company and The Foundry in downtown Pontiac, Michigan.
