Third Monday Trade Days is a clean, well-managed market in a prime location. We use multi-media advertising to bring thousands of customers to you.  

Beginning on Reservation Day (Tuesday following the fourth Monday of the month), the office calls vendors who have sent in a Vendor Application to fill available spaces for the following month’s market. All new vendors must pay a $20 Reservation Fee with the first month's rent payment after being assigned a space on Reservation Day, and first-time vendors are encouraged to be open all three days of the market – Friday, Saturday and Sunday – from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Vendors should read Vendor Guidelines before completing an application form.

To print out a Vendor Application form click here. Applicants should also print out a copy of the Vendor Lot map for reference on Reservation Day. We will keep your application for two months.  If you have not been contacted about a space after that time, submit another application.

Potential vendors need to know the following information before renting.

· THE LAYOUT OF THE MARKET: Third Monday Trade Days has a brochure with a map of all the spaces and entrances. You can print the map off the Vendor Lot Map page (print in landscape format).

· HOW MUCH SPACE TO RENT: It is necessary for vendors to rent sufficient space to accommodate their vehicles and trailers as well as vendor merchandise. Since vendors, their family and their employees may not park any vehicle in the asphalt Shopper Parking Lots, inquire about the special parking area for extra vendor vehicles when contacted on Reservation Day. Prior to reservation day, a prospective vendor needs to calculate how much space he requires. Each outside vendor space is 12’ wide and 24’ deep. Spaces have a roof over the front 12' next to where the shoppers walk.  

· THE HEIGHT OF YOUR VEHICLE AND TRAILER (IF ANY): Since the roofs are only 7 ½ feet tall and you must drive under the roof to park your vehicle on your space, a trailer/or vehicle may not be taller than 7 ½ feet..

· A TEXAS SALES TAX NUMBER IS REQUIRED TO BE A VENDOR AT THIRD MONDAY TRADE DAYS. Vendors who do not have one, can obtain one by completing a permit application online at www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/sales or by visiting a Comptroller's field office. Field office locations can be found by calling 800-252-5555 or at www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/fieldtoll.html. For vendors to re-rent their spaces, they must provide Third Monday Trade Days with a Texas sales tax permit number.

· HOW TO RENT TABLES AND/OR CANOPIES: After reserving a space, vendors can arrange to rent Tables and Canopies/Tarps. Vendors should call 903-312-0499 to rent tables ($6 each). For canopy/tarp information, call 580-371-6456. DO NOT SEND MONEY FOR TABLES or TARPS WITH SPACE PAYMENT. These suppliers will collect during the market.

· PAYING FOR VENDOR SPACES: Space payment must be received within 6 days after the Reservation Day and should include the $20 Reservation Fee.

· HOW TO MAKE OUT THE CHECK (OR MONEY ORDER) AND WHERE TO SEND IT: Make the check to TMTD, write the space number on the check, and send it (along with a stamped self-addressed envelope) to TMTD, 4550 W. University Dr., McKinney, TX 75071.
