PACKET: two

Restock anytime during business hours, 10am-7pm. Avoid restocking on the weekends and during events. If you must, do so only after 4pm. If you are doing a major redo, you can do it after hours. Arrive by 7pm, we will lock you in, and you can work until 10pm.

You may call the store and request a photo of your booth. Please keep the conversation quick as we tend to be busy with customers. We will text you a photo at some point before closing. It may not be immediate. It’s a great way to plan ahead to restock.

When moving in large items, remember the staff has to move it out. Please no cast iron stoves, or overly heavy items. We do have a dolly and furniture wheels to use for furniture. If you sell a large piece, staff will try to call notify you. (not guaranteed.)

We strive to be cool, so there’s a list of items that aren’t allowed to be sold. This include: no collectibles, “pretty” dolls, fake floral, wholesale, underwear, new items, mass produced, satanic, knives or swords (pocket knives, ok), dangerous to shoppers, Nazi, crafty, prejudicial, or political.

Everyone has a different explanation of antiques and vintage. We typically say anything you remember from your childhood or older. Reproductions should be clearly marked. No chips or broken items. Again, do not over price items. Price affordable.

Thrifted items, estate sales items, and recycled items are allowed. However they must be in good condition, interesting, “hip”, and priced affordably. Be sure its not mass chain store items (hobby lobby). If you have questions, please ask. Less than 25% of booth.

All items must be made by you. If you are a vintage/thrift vendor and would like to bring in handmade, please ask Stacey. All hand made items should be packaged professionally and look like something you’d buy at a store or on Etsy. No crafts.

TN does not allow any wholesale. All of our “Brands” have been hand selected. Most are Midwest made and all are small businesses. We do not allow any other vendor to compete against the “Brands”. If you know a brand you feel should be at TN, contact Stacey.

TN has a young clothing shopper. In fashion, thrift, rock, punk, name brands, and outer wear. Clothing, shoes, and bags should be in excellent condition. No holes, no missing buttons, not wrinkled, and clean. Bring in and mark your own hangers.

If you chose to keep inventory of your items, its up to you. It is not required by True North. We suggest taking photos when you restock. If you use inventory numbers, that will be the only description you will receive on your report.

If you can easily make it, so can our customers. You were approved in a category & added to TN because you bring something different. Don’t stray. If you want to try something new, please ask permission prior. We don’t approve items competing with TN Makers.

If you need supplies, such as scissors, hammer, screwdriver, or other items while restocking, feel free to borrow from the Vendor Supply Area. There are multiple ladders around the store. It is the vendors responsibility to dust, sweep and vacuum their area.
