Weekend Market opens a marketplace for collectors and creative entrepreneurs

Circle K Indonesia turned its Gandaria store in Jakarta into a meeting place for collectors, creative entrepreneurs and music communities during its first Weekend Market: Music & Preloved.

Held on Aug. 29 and 30, the event featured rare cassettes and CDs, band merchandise, imported music magazines, sneakers, apparel and other music-themed preloved goods. The format allowed small businesses and collectors to sell directly to consumers while meeting potential buyers and like-minded communities.

The market received support from the Indonesian Music Journalists Network, known as JJMI, which connects musicians, writers, creators, fans, enthusiasts and creative workers in the independent music ecosystem.

“We want Circle K to become a space that is increasingly relevant to the daily lives and interests of communities. Not only a place to meet everyday needs, but also a place to meet, discover something interesting, share stories, and build and grow existing circles,” said Wirawan Herdyanto, Circle K Indonesia’s senior manager for brand communications.

Musicians Daisy Hera, William Sihombing, Reza Miranda and Sigit Wardana performed during the event. Wardana also introduced his latest mini-album, “Eksisten!”, giving the market a live music component alongside its sales and community activities.
