Vendor guidelines are listed in full in the market brochure which you will receive with your receipt when your space(s) are paid for.  Please read all policies in that brochure.  Some of the more important policies are listed below.

1.     All Vendors are expected to follow vendor guidelines, pertinent federal, state, and local laws and ordinances, and exhibit appropriate vendor behavior. 

2.     Vendors must enter the market through the Vendor Entrance (see Vendor Lot Map)  before 9 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and show their Lot Receipt.  Vending hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the Vendor Entrance gate is locked during those hours.

3.     Vendors must park one vehicle on their space.  Vendors may not park any vehicle, employee or family vehicle, or trailer in the Shopper Parking Lots.   Extra vendor vehicles may park across US380 from the Vendor Entrance at no charge or may enter the far west (Windmill) Entrance, pay $3, and park in the grass and gravel lot east of the vending area.  

4.     The trashcans are for shopper’s trash.  Vendors are responsible for keeping their lots clean and taking all merchandise and personal trash with them when they leave the market.

5.     No vendors, except food vendors, are allowed to sell food or drinks including cold drinks and water.  Prior to applying,  prospective food vendors should contact the City of McKinney Health Department (972-547-7448) to inquire whether or not their concession equipment meets the requirements for a McKinney Health Department permit. 

6.     Rental rates are listed on the Rent a Space page.  Vendors who do not sell on Friday pay an additional $10 per space.

 7.     Vendors may not sub-lease their lots or rent spaces in more than one location.

8.     First time vendors are encouraged to sell  all 3 days of the market--Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 

9.     Once you have rented a space on the Reservation Day, you may retain that space for the following month by paying for it within 5 days after the existing market. 

10.    If you wish to switch spaces, pay for your space and then call the market office between 1 and 4 p.m. on the fourth Monday of the month.

11.     Vendors who sell dogs/puppies pay $100 per space and may not display more than 15 dogs per space.  Puppies must be displayed in a cage or confined area off the ground.  Dog vendors must provide the purchaser with a Bill of Sale, a warranty, vendor’s contact information, a record of shots, any necessary registration papers, and a refundable 72-hour period to have the dog checked by a vet.  Dog vendors should provide a copy of their Bill of Sale/Warranty with the application form.

12.     There are no refunds on reserved spaces, and, if a vendor cannot attend a particular market, he must notify the office within 72 hours prior to that market.

13. The market and its owners are not liable for any personal injury or property loss caused by theft, calamitous weather or accidents.
