Square celebrated its public debut by hosting a Square Market
beneath the NYSE facade, featuring some of the best local vendors,
which are also Square sellers. Visitors to the Square Market
browsed custom goods, got their beards trimmed, and enjoyed
breakfast, lunch and desserts from food trucks and
restaurants. The Square Market event kicked off with The
Opening Bell® from outside the NYSE. Marcia Dorsey, mother of
Square CEO Jack Dorsey, made a flower purchase from Square’s first
seller, Cheri Mims. The sound of the completed transaction,
coupled with the NYSE Bell, signified the start of the trading
day.

start, run, and grow their businesses with its mobile payments
technology and business services to help their sellers manage that
