About MOMENT

Unique Retail Activation Powered by Creative Small Businesses

MOMENT taps into the ever-growing creative small business movement has captivated cities across the country and around the world.

Supported by a Knight Foundation Grant, MOMENT first emerged in 2018 from San José Made’s MOMENT San Pedro Square micro-retail project, where 14 parking spaces in a downtown San José parking garage were transformed into four micro-retail storefronts (ranging from 250 sq. ft. to 350 sq. ft. in size)—perfect for providing local creative small businesses with their first physical storefront.

In 2024, MOMENT collaborated once again with the San José Downtown Association and City of San José to bring over 15 creative small businesses across three storefronts in downtown San José, bringing vital retail activation to long neglected or vacant properties.

In addition to its downtown San José project, MOMENT has launched a successful “four-in-one” retail project in San José Japantown since 2022.
