The Annex is a 16,000-square-foot public market-style space located within Ventura County’s premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination, The Collection. Celebrating the spirit of small business, the new community-minded center offers a platform for artisans who want to share their passion with others in a one-of-a-kind, inviting atmosphere. The Annex brought together an eclectic mix of 12 microshops, artisan boutiques and craft food and beverage purveyors who offer a unique flavor to the shared space, which combines bar-front eating with common-area seating.

The Annex was originally created to highlight the region’s homegrown brands, but rising star-entrepreneurs hailing from major cities across Southern California have set their sights on the new public market to expand their brands and reach Ventura County’s enthusiastic consumers.
