The Square and its two farmers markets

The Marietta Square, the former site of the county courthouse, hosts public events and a weekly farmers market. The market runs Saturdays 9 am to noon year-round, with a break around Christmas, and Sundays noon to 3 pm from April to late fall, at 50 Park Square.

The city's site lists a Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony on the Square, set for November 14. A shop on the Square sees its week divided into market days and quiet ones.

Employers and campuses

Marietta's top employers in a 2021 report were WellStar Kennestone Hospital, Dobbins Air Reserve Base and Cobb County Public Safety. Kennesaw State University runs a campus at 1100 South Marietta Pkwy, and Life University offers undergraduate, graduate and online programs, with a flagship Doctor of Chiropractic program.

Practices that serve hospital staff or Life University's students, such as therapists, chiropractors and caterers, should write to those groups by name.

Questions from Marietta owners

Will you handle sensitive client information?

We work with the records you give us and agree on what they cover first. Tell us on the call what the records contain, and we will say what we can and cannot do.

Do the Saturday and Sunday markets need different handling?

They can. We track each day's sales separately so you can see which is worth your time.

What does the first conversation cost?

Nothing. It lasts 15 or 30 minutes and is booked on the contact page. Ask in the form to meet in person.
