About Us

Our Mission

City Box Durham's mission is to give gift recipients a feeling of warmth and a sense of belonging with Durham by connecting them with local entrepreneurs and makers.  City Box Durham was recently purchased by Casa Bella Market.

Casa Bella Market and City Box Durham have similar values and goals to buy and sell local products and support other community-based businesses, especially women- and minority-owned businesses. 

Our Values

City Box Durham strives to be rooted in Durham through local ownership and a connection to each vendor's story. It believes that buying locally supports local business, keep profits in the regional economy and provide jobs.

Attention to fair trade, fair wage and flexible workplace practices are paramount to City Box’s business philosophy.

City Box Durham strives to purchase at least 75% of its products from Black-, LGTBQIA-, Latino-, and women-owned businesses.
