Along with the other founding members
of Astoria Tiny Market—Regine Mechulan
of Silly Reggie, Christine Gibson
of Queens Knits, Renee Heitmann of
Single Girl Cookies and Megan Sipe of
Chocolate Dances—Franco started Astoria
Tiny Market.
So during the holidays of 2015, Astoria
Tiny Market had its first trial. Back then,
they were hosted by Crescent Wine and
Spirits.
“It was a really big success, because
everyone was excited about being able
to sell their things with other creative entrepreneurs,”
Franco said. “The neighborhood
was very excited.”
