I am a member of the Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS), the Hearth Patio Barbecue Association (HPBA), and the National BBQ Association (NBBQ). I served as e-commerce manager for several companies, helping to increase sales for other companies, and driving home the real need for easy and effective solutions for today’s online marketplace. After creating those multi-million dollar storefronts I decided to make the leap from providing solutions to running my own store. My passion for barbecues grilling and fireplaces was a natural choice as the core focus for Market Merchants. We sell these products because we love them and are passionate about your living needs. So whether its furniture and decor, home improvement, kitchen and dining, or outdoor living Market Merchants brings a dedicated commitment to the customer and a passion for high quality products.
