Welcome to The Platform – Where East Texas Small Businesses Shine

Step into a one-of-a-kind shopping experience at The Platform, the shared storefront for over 40 independently owned small businesses from across East Texas. More than just a marketplace, The Platform is a vibrant hub of creativity, entrepreneurship, and community—all housed under one roof in the heart of downtown Longview.

Every booth, shelf, and room represents the passion and hard work of a local business owner. From handmade goods and curated home décor to vintage finds, fashion, art, and specialty items, each space reflects the unique style and story of its creator. As you explore, you'll discover that no two visits to The Platform are ever the same.

We're proud to offer more than shopping—we're a place where community thrives. Join us throughout the year for lively vendor markets, seasonal pop-ups, and special events that celebrate the talent and diversity of East Texas makers.

Follow us on social media for behind-the-scenes peeks, new vendor spotlights, event announcements, and all the latest happenings. Whether you're a local or just passing through, you're invited to be part of something truly special at The Platform.

Come visit and see how supporting small businesses can feel like coming home.
