Last March, in response to a growing need for connectivity and commerce within the Central Texas corridor, Davis and Patton Jones launched Squaredeal CTX, a digital marketplace for local artists to sell their goods online.
“It really started from the realization that there’s really no place for Central Texans to buy and sell locally made handmade goods all in one place,” said Jack Eltife, marketing and brand manager for Squaredeal CTX. “With COVID, it became more apparent that there needs to be a place where people can rely on their neighbors.”
From there, the Patton brothers — who grew up in Austin — dreamed up a plan that would help the communities between North Austin and South San Antonio become more connected while preserving the unique culture of the small towns within the corridor.
