11th Street Market by A 2nd Cup Market Rules

I. INTRODUCTION / MISSION

The 11th Street Market (the "market") is brought to you by A 2nd Cup and will take place in the cafe’s parking lot (on the corner of 11th Street and Norhill) to support A 2nd Cup, local businesses, benefit the community and raise awareness around the issue of human trafficking. The main goals of the market include:

creating a safe space for the community to support local businesses who have been impacted by Covid-19 + redirecting consumers’ dollars to these businesses
educating the community about A 2nd Cup and its mission to end human trafficking
promoting fair-trade + ethically sourced goods

II. SELLING AT THE MARKET

A 2nd Cup and its staff will determine those who may sell and participate in the market. We anticipate having a variety of sellers that will include items such as produce, ethically sourced and produced jewelry, home goods and clothing, plants, food vendors (that do not compete with A 2nd Cup’s offerings), and more. We will work to make sure that vendors do not overlap too much with other vendors (ie. we will not have more than one to two vendors in each category of goods).

A vendor application must be submitted to and approved by A 2nd Cup. Vendors must hold all required permits, licenses, and insurance for their business operations, and sign the Indemnity Agreement.

There is a $40 fee to reserve your space at the 11th Street Market. Invoices are sent out approximately one week before the market, and need to be paid before the market begins. Invoices are sent out approximately one week before the market, and need to be paid before the market begins.
