Vendor Information

The Emporium at Market Street is a mixed-use indoor/outdoor marketplace located inside the historic Sandusky Register building in downtown Sandusky, Ohio. We’re home to a dynamic blend of food trucks, artist tables, vintage vendors, local farmers, and pop-up creators of all kinds.

We operate year-round, offering flexible vendor opportunities for weekend markets, seasonal events, and rotating showcases. Our goal is to support small businesses, local creatives, and community connection — one table, truck, and booth at a time.

Vendors are required to fully merchandise their booths with attractive displays and enough product to support a full day. Eye-catching setup = more shoppers at your table!

Our goal is to provide opportunities for local artisans, makers, food vendors, and small businesses to showcase their work in a vibrant, community-centered space. We also strive to maintain a welcoming, family-friendly environment and offer shoppers a diverse mix of products. To help create a balanced and exciting marketplace, we may limit vendor overlap in certain categories.

Apply early to be part of something creative, collaborative, and distinctly local.

🚚 Food Truck Spaces​

Food trucks at The Emporium are located in the west-side parking lot of the Sandusky Register building, just outside the garage area, offering great visibility and foot traffic. We provide four dedicated food truck spaces, each equipped with 30 amp power and water connections, included in the rental.

​

🖼️ Market Hall Tables

Market Hall tables at The Emporium are 6' x 3' indoor vendor spaces located in our fully weatherproof, climate-controlled main area. These tables remain open for the entire duration of Emporium hours, including during evening and special events, making them ideal for vendors looking for consistent visibility and foot traffic throughout the day and night.

​

🏭 Vintage Garage Tables

The Vintage Garage at The Emporium is open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and is ideal for farmers market vendors, specialty food sellers, and daytime merchants. Each space includes two 4' x 2' tables and is housed in a weatherproof indoor area with the added charm of a 10-foot garage door that we open on nice days to create an indoor-outdoor feel. Located directly in front of our food truck zone, the Vintage Garage transforms into a lively food hall-style experience that draws foot traffic and enhances the market atmosphere.

​

🍴Food Vendors

To support smooth operations and assist with health inspections, vendors also have access to a commercial refrigerator and a shared three-compartment sink located within the Emporium’s common area kitchenette.

All vendor applications for The Emporium are reviewed on a rolling basis. If your application is approved, you’ll receive an email with next steps. To secure your spot, you can book online:

• A non-refundable $100 deposit (within 5 days after application approved)

• Proof of any required licenses or permits (especially for food vendors)

Some applicants may be placed on a waitlist. This may happen if:

• We already have vendors offering a similar product or service

• We’ve temporarily paused on accepting new vendors in that category
   

Vendors on the waitlist will be notified promptly if and when a space becomes available. We appreciate your patience and your interest in being part of our growing marketplace!

Vendors providing and/or serving food products MUST be aware of, and comply with all regulations set forth by the Erie County Department of Health.  

Vendors will be able to choose from a Market Hall Table, Vintage Garage Table or Food Truck during the application process. While we’ll do our best to accommodate each vendor’s preferences, The Emporium team reserves the right to assign final booth locations as needed to ensure a balanced and well-organized market experience for everyone.
