About Us
🌟 A Marketplace with Heart, Built for the Community
The Emporium at Market Street is a year-round, all-weather marketplace located in the historic Sandusky Register building. More than just a venue, we’re a gathering place for makers, dreamers, and doers — a space where local talent meets community energy.
​
Our goal is simple: give local vendors a platform to sell, grow, and shine. Whether you're an artist, a food vendor, a farmer, or a vintage curator, there's a spot here for you. We offer flexible, affordable vendor options — from indoor market hall tables and garage stalls to outdoor food truck spaces — all designed to bring our community closer to the people and products that make it special.
​
We're passionate about creativity, authenticity, and accessibility. That’s why The Emporium is open through every season, offering a comfortable, welcoming environment no matter the weather. We're not just a market — we're a movement to keep local business alive, inspired, and thriving in Sandusky.
​
Come sell. Come shop. Come be part of something local.
🌟 Our Mission
At The Emporium at Market Street, our mission is to create a vibrant, accessible platform where local vendors, makers, and small businesses can connect with the community and share their work with the public at low cost. We celebrate creativity, originality, and authenticity — whether you craft, cook, grow, or curate, there’s a space here for you.
​
Our venue offers a weatherproof, year-round marketplace that welcomes both shoppers and sellers in every season. From cozy winter shopping to fresh, open-air farmers market days, The Emporium is designed to be a comfortable, community-driven destination — rain, snow, or shine.
💬 Our Why
The Emporium exists because we believe in the power of local. Local businesses. Local makers. Local flavor. Local stories.
​
We saw a need for a space where creatives, entrepreneurs, and small-scale producers could not only sell their products but also be part of a thriving, supportive community. A place that’s not just about transactions — but connection, creativity, and culture.
​
By offering affordable, flexible spaces in a weatherproof, all-season setting, we’re building something sustainable — a marketplace that works just as hard in February as it does in July. Whether you're a weekend hobbyist or a full-time food truck pro, The Emporium gives you a place to grow, experiment, and be seen.
​
Because when local businesses thrive, so does the community around them.
