Made in Baltimore, a brick-and-mortar store at the Inner Harbor that sells goods from makers and artists in the city, will close down at the Harborplace after Sunday.

The Baltimore Development Corporation, a non profit that operates the store, said in a statement that while the harborplace storefront was closing, Made in Baltimore was not.

Businesses under the umbrella of Made in Baltimore will continue through pop-ups, partnerships and other retail events while the development corporation looks for a long-term home for a future storefront, the spokeswoman said.

The BDC will share more details about its vision for Made in Baltimore at an event on Thursday.

“Made in Baltimore has never been defined by a storefront—it has always been about empowering Baltimore’s entrepreneurs and celebrating the incredible talent that exists across our city,“ said Roy Broderick, chief business development officer for the BDC. “As the program enters its next chapter, we’re expanding our investment beyond one retail location to build a stronger ecosystem for makers, artists, creatives, and manufacturers.”

Made in Baltimore made Harborplace home a decade ago and has built a network of nearly 300 local businesses since then. Sales from the store go to the pockets of the artisans behind the products. The shop also offers support and professional services to Baltimore’s business owners and craftsmen.

Though many businesses have shutdown at Harborplace, all shops will eventually vacate the two-story building at the Inner Harbor for redevelopment. The owner of Harborplace, MCB Real Estate, plans to demolish the current pavilion and rebuild the waterfront property entirely.

Despite another storefront emptied out at Harborplace, the Inner Harbor was alive over the weekend for Sail250. Visitors from around the world came to gawk at the tall ships and watch the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels fly by.
