Pittsburgh’s Local Marketplace

ABOUT YINZMART

Built for the Burgh. Powered by local makers.

Our Mission

Strong communities over global corporations.

YinzMart.com was built to put Pittsburgh small businesses first. We favor building strong communities over feeding global corporations. Every vendor on our platform is a real, vetted Pittsburgh-area maker, baker, artist, or small business owner — never a dropshipper, never a megabrand.

Our goal is simple: make it easy for locals who take pride in supporting small businesses to know exactly where their money is going. When you shop on YinzMart, your dollars stay in Western PA and help a neighbor grow their dream.

“YinzMart is meant to be local. We only allow small businesses from the Pittsburgh region to set up shop on this platform.”

Why Shop Local Pittsburgh

Because every dollar tells a story.

💛

Keeps Money Local

Studies show local businesses recirculate up to 3x more of each dollar in the community than national chains.

🏙️

Supports Your Neighbors

Every purchase directly supports a Pittsburgh maker, small shop owner, or family-run business — not a faceless warehouse.

Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Jurgen.

Jurgen - Founder of YinzMart

Jurgen

Founder, YinzMart.com

I grew up in most of the hockey rinks around Pittsburgh. That’s when my mother started making t-shirts at our tournaments — and pretty soon she was making uniforms for our teams and had opened her own print shop. I started going there almost daily in middle school. My mom taught me everything I know about making clothes.

The one thing she struggled with was making a website. For me, building websites started as a way to help her. As I got better at it, I realized her problem was a problem for thousands of Pittsburgh makers and small business owners just like her.

YinzMart.com is dedicated to helping those people showcase their amazing creations with the world. It could be for you too. Message me at admin@yinzmart.com or apply to be a vendor on our website today.

If you make it in Pittsburgh, we want to sell it.

YinzMart is always looking for ambitious, enthusiastic, and entrepreneurial makers to join the marketplace. If you’re a Pittsburgh-area small business owner ready to reach more customers online without building a website from scratch, we’d love to meet you.

We offer free onboarding, automatic payouts, and fair, low-cost selling fees. Whether you sell t-shirts, candles, cookies, jewelry, or something totally unique, there’s a home for it on YinzMart.
