The Potrero Dogpatch Merchants Association
The Potrero Dogpatch Merchants Association promotes and advocates for independent, locally owned businesses while actively supporting both neighborhoods and communities.

PDMA is made up of 170+ businesses from Potrero and Dogpatch. We represent an eclectic mix of food and drink, salons, spas, healers, shopping, schools, business services, entertainment, and much more.

We have fantastic weather, breathtaking views, and offer a true San Francisco experience. Walk, drive, bike, or catch a bus or train to the City's hidden treasure. Our monthly general meetings occur the 2nd Tuesday of every month, 9:45 - 11am at Goat Hill Pizza. Come join us!
