About Havens
Havens Marketplace
A space where every item and every interaction is filled with purpose.
Our Story
Havens Marketplace was born in 2020 from a vision shared by Sonya and Frank — a dream of a store where faith plays a major role, where every customer feels welcomed, and where lives are changed simply through the experience of walking through our doors.
What started as a heartfelt calling has grown into a vibrant community gathering place, rooted in Christ-centered values and a deep love for the people we serve. Every product we carry, every interaction we have, is intentional — chosen and offered with purpose.
What We Believe
We believe shopping can be more than a transaction. At Havens, we strive to create an atmosphere where you feel seen, valued, and uplifted — where the items you find carry meaning, and where the community around you feels like family.
Whether you're searching for a meaningful gift, a piece of home décor that speaks to your faith, or simply a welcoming place to spend time, Havens Marketplace is here for you.
Come as you are. Leave inspired.
Havens Prayer Tree 🌿
At the heart of Havens Marketplace stands our Prayer Tree — one of the most beloved and meaningful features of our store.
The Prayer Tree is a place where our community comes together in faith. Customers are invited to write a prayer, a hope, or an affirmation and add it to the tree — and to read the prayers and encouragements left by others. It is a living, growing expression of shared faith, community, and connection.
Customers have described it as one of the most moving parts of their visit. We invite you to experience it for yourself. Have you visited our Prayer Tree yet? You're welcome to add a prayer during your next visit to the store or fill out the prayer request below and we will add it to our tree for you.
Coffee, Worship, Shopping & Community All In One
Join us for a unique experience where coffee and worship come together. Every visit is an opportunity to enjoy a warm cup of coffee while engaging in meaningful worship as you shop. Come as you are and experience the warmth of both our free cup of coffee and our community.
Meet The Owners
Meet Sonya and Frank Pacera—the heart and soul behind Havens Marketplace! Their journey is one of passion, purpose, and new beginnings. In July 2020, they made the exciting leap to South Carolina and opened their first storefront at Barefoot Landing, bringing their vision to life. Sonya's retail expertise and deep commitment to service—rooted in her church ministry background—pairs beautifully with Frank's background in commercial real estate and retail management. Together, they've created something truly special. Life for them outside of Havens Marketplace, is surrounded by love thanks to their five wonderful grandchildren that their daughter blessed them with along with their 3 rescued dogs which helps keep their hearts full and their home lively. Sonya and Frank can't wait to welcome you in person and share the warmth, joy, and genuine care that defines the Havens Marketplace experience. Come visit and become part of their growing family!
