Opening July 1!!!

New space, new name, same mission

Ten Thousand Villages-Portland is proud to announce changes that will bring fair trade to more Portland-area shoppers than ever before.

Our non-profit retail store will re-open in the new Mercy Corps headquarters, 18 SW First, the former Skidmore Fountain Building immediately south of the Burnside Bridge. The new space, directly in front of the Skidmore Fountain MAX stop, is in a newly-renovated building in Portland’s Old Town. 

We will reopen under the name Banyan Tree, a Fair Trade Store. Our new name, Banyan Tree, represents the historic trading place of Hindu merchants and has ties to many cultural and spiritual traditions.  While we no longer will use the name Ten Thousand Villages, we will continue selling crafts imported by Ten Thousand Villages, as well as other fair trade companies with our vision. We also will continue to pursue the Ten Thousand Villages vision of social justice through fair trade.

Thank you for your continued support for fair trade.  We look forward to welcoming you to the Banyan Tree- a fair trade store.
