‘THE BEST PICKUP SERVICE‘
What local Makers have been saying since 2017
Word on the Street
Christine LaPensee
Convenient pick-up location with friendly staff. It was nice to walk around and look at all the different products. Good covid protocols in place as well.
Mari, Little Buck
Using The Maker’s Hub to drop off our orders has been one of the best decisions we’ve made since starting Little Buck. Not only do we love it, but our customers also find it easy to pickup all their small shop purchases at one convenient location.

Nothing but a great experience. Love the concept of this store especially since I love supporting small businesses! Love the lives and just overall positive atmosphere! Awesome people and I look forward to seeing all the amazing items to come.

The Maker’s Hub has safely and creatively adapted throughout the pandemic to continue to provide people with a way to purchase locally made goods. I recently purchased 2 baby gifts during one of the live shopping shows. It was fast and easy, and the curbside pickup was effortless. Keep up the good work! I’m looking forward to the outdoor summer pop-ups!
JENNIFER NAGY
What an amazing way to shop local. Truly unique gifts all brought together under one roof by this amazing endeavor. What a brilliant idea and so supportive of the small businesses in our community. I can’t say enough about The Maker’s Hub.
Fuzzycakes Knitwear
Offers a wonderful and convenient way to pick up orders from local makers and is now home to a gorgeous in store boutique.
The Rebel Crafter
Beautiful shop filled with a variety of local vendors. Handy pick-up service for vendors (even those that don’t sell in the shop!) So much better than ‘porch pickups’
Stacey, Rustic Canvas Co
Over the past year I’ve used The Makers Hub as both a customer and a vendor. Cheryl and her team have always been very pleasant and helpful with any questions or help I’ve needed through out the year. Such a positive, loving and supportive environment for our community makers!
Love, love, love the new location!
Our Story
In 2014, Founder Cheryl Wilson, a maker herself, despised porch pickups. Aside from the obvious privacy and security concerns, was the glaring lack of customer service. A cold bag, alone on a porch, no smiles, no heartfelt gratitude.
A stereotypical entrepreneur, Cheryl knew there had to be a better solution. An innovative idea was born – a centralized pickup service. The research and planning started. In 2017 The Maker’s Hub opened. Andree from Petit Nordique in Bowmanville was our very first drop off! It was the first of its kind and ahead of its time.
So much has changed since then, and yet so much has stayed the same. We continue to serve our customers with joy, providing pickups and services to uplift and better local businesses. We’ve grown to include retailing high quality Canadian-made goods in a boutique setting, including broadcasting popular, interactive, and fun Live Shopping Shows.
We strive to always spark creativity, inspire betterment, build meaningful relationships, and above all, to be authentic.
