  • Semi-Annual Inventory Counts
    Twice a year we hold an inventory count so every vendor's stock is accurate in the store and online. When: count periods and time slots are announced at least 30 days ahead in the Vendor Hub and Circle, and by email. Your time slot: we'll either assign you a slot or open a sign-up form where you choose oneFew readers
  • Holiday Commitment Period
    October 1 through January 15 is our peak season. If you're an in-store vendor active at any point in that window, including if you join during it: Keep your plan active and your shelves stocked through January 15. This applies to every plan type, including month-to-month. If you cancel during the period, your plan ends no earlier than January 31. You can remove inventory after January 15, but there's no refund for the rest of January. Leaving during the holiday period counts asFew readers
  • Display Standards & Booth Upkeep
    Keep your display stocked, clean, organized, and inside your footprint. Aisles: keep a 36-inch clear path (ADA and fire code). Blocking items are removed immediately. Neglected displays get 48 hours' notice to fix. If staff must clean or reset your space, a $100 Booth Reset Fee is invoiced. Electrical and signage must meet the Store Policies (UL-listed items, timers, professionally printed signs). Move-in and move-out: we do a condition walkthrough at move-in. Damage beFew readers
  • Check-In, Restocking & Vendor-Only Hours
    Check in by QR code or at the Vendor Kiosk every time you restock or maintain your display. The first missed check-in gets a written warning; repeat misses are a breach of the agreement. Vendor-only hours (access outside retail hours) must be booked at least 48 hours ahead with our scheduling form. Weekly allowances are in the Plan Schedule and don't roll over. Guests: no non-vendor guests or minors during vendor-only hours without written approval. Young Entrepreneurs must alwFew readers
  • Item Labels & Barcodes
    Every item in the store needs a scannable barcode (strongly recommended) or a clear vendor ID (your vendor name and ID). Why it matters: at checkout we sell every item a customer brings up. If an item can't be matched to a vendor, we can't trace it later, and the proceeds are kept by the store. Staff don't research unmarked items after the sale. Also keep prices accurate. Under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, you're responsible for your pricing. **Turnkey Dropshipping vendorFew readers
  • Your Space, Storage & Layout Changes
    Assignment: space is assigned by tier, first come, first served. Your fee covers your membership and tier benefits, not a specific spot. This isn't a lease. "Up to" sizes in the Plan Schedule are maximums. If your full footprint isn't available, you get the best available space and join the waiting list for your tier's full footprint. Young Entrepreneurs: up to 24 cubes in the Youth Section. Backroom storage: included bins depend on your tier (see the Plan Schedule). ToteFew readers
  • Store Hours, Closures & Damaged Items
    Closures: we may adjust hours or close for weather, utility outages, repairs, emergencies, government orders, holidays, inventory audits, store updates, staff events, or major system failures. Closures don't earn fee credits, except under the 14-day rule in Ending Your Membership: Termination & Move-Out. Risk of loss: you carry the risk for theft, shoplifting, water, fire, and other loss to your items in the store, which is why insurance is required. **If our staff damage your itFew readers
