Entrepreneurial Spirit Award: The Fritter Co. 🍏

In 1987, sisters Marianne and Joanne opened The Fritter Co. with nothing but three frying pans, a fridge, a percolator—and a whole lot of heart. On their first day, they sparked a frenzy. The line never stopped.

Today, The Fritter Co. is one of the most iconic booths at the Market. Their cinnamon-sugar fritters are more than a treat—they’re a tradition. A shared experience passed from parent to child, friend to friend, year after year.

Over time, they’ve grown their team, refined their process, and maintained the kind of quality that keeps people coming back. But at its core, The Fritter Co. is still the same: family-run, joy-filled, and powered by hustle and heritage.

Congratulations to Marianne and Joanne—entrepreneurs whose story is as sweet as their fritters.
