At this time we ask pop-up vendors to provide their own suite set up. You will be given a set location within the market where your display can occupy. Some suite areas will have a wall available and some will be freestanding, center aisle locations. We have a few rentable custom designed kiosks that are available at a minimum one month rental rate.

Suites range from $85 – $150 per day, depending on size and location. Special rates may apply for Holidays & non-profits.

We are currently accepting payment by e-transfer and cheque only. Send to office@goodscomarket.com. In person payment options available on request.

Events, Pop-ups and Workshops are not confirmed until full payment is received. Your spot will be held for only 48hrs. If Payment is not received by that date your spot will be released to others to book.

Pop-ups may be booked primarily on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. You can book an entire weekend or a single day or two, based on our availability. We are open to welcoming vendors on Wednesdays and Thursdays if that suits you as well.

Handmade items including merch, products, crafts and art, with a focus on local and Canadian wares. Items that are purchased from a third party and re-sold are non permissible, as well as anything displaying signs of cultural appropriation.*

Set up begins the day of your booking at 9am on weekends, 10 am on weekdays. Tear down to be completed promptly when the market closes, no sooner. If you are booked for consecutive days your items will still be required to be packed up and take with you, unless you are located in a back hall. The front main hall requires vendors to do a full takedown each night.

For Pop-Up Vendors each application is overviewed by the employees of Goods & Co. and through reviewing the applications website, social media accounts and attached images, artisans will be selected by the following criteria:

• Product quality
• Originality
• Branding/Presentation
• Shopper appeal
• Innovative design

You will be contacted via email with an answer. If you are accepted into the Market the organizers will follow-up to obtain your logo, full details for your booking and accept payment. At that time you may also discuss any changes to your application.

For Pop-ups events & workshops that require cancellation, Goods & Co asks that you inform us of your cancellation 1 month in advance of your booking. Any changes to a guaranteed booking must be made no later than 3 business days prior to the event date.

The short answer is no. Artisans must submit a list of all items being sold prior to the booking. If you wish to collaborate with another artisan, please apply as a collective and include images of their work and a list of everything being sold when you send in your initial request. It is important for us to create a safe and equitable environment for vendors. Allowing us to preview what is being sold ensures there are not too many duplicate vendors, items are high quality and follow standards set by the market’s regulations.

A Goods & co market representative will be there to let you in for set up and direct you to your location. Please bring your own helper for moving items and set up. If you have accessibility needs please include those in your application and we will provide any support you require. Please remember to bring your own table, chair and tablecloth.

Rental cost varies depending on the applicant and the use of the space. Complete the Booking request form and we will get back to you. For a typical 2 hour workshop, organized by the applicant with their own materials and outreach, an individual may expect a rental rate of around $250-$400. Non-profit & BIPOC LGBTQ2S pricing available as well as options for partnership/sponsorship. Artists seeking to exhibit may contact loracolab@gmail.com directly.
