How a Pittsburgh cafe turned marketplace handoffs into midday foot traffic.

Pittsburgh, PA

The challenge

Spigolo wanted to increase midday foot traffic and support marketplace exchanges for local buyers and sellers. Timing was unpredictable and staff sometimes had to help coordinate. Issues included: • Unreliable meetup timing • Staff acting as intermediaries • Missed chances for new customers Secondary challenge: local makers needed a simple pick-up method for pre orders.

What they did

Spigolo hosted a Relai Exchange Zone to support community exchanges. The improvements were immediate: • Safe and consistent marketplace pick-ups • Natural foot traffic throughout the day • Seamless exchanges that bring customers inside Secondary solution: local artisans placed pre sold goods inside compartments for convenient pick-up.

The results

Spigolo strengthened its role as a neighborhood hub. Results included: • Steady midday activity • Increased casual purchases • Stronger community presence • Engagement with local makers
