TN policy is to NOT charge customers for broken items. It does not happen often. Customers should feel comfortable shopping. If an item breaks, it will be rung up. It will show on your report as $0.00. We do not save the items.

Items tend to wander around the store. Its a part of retail and customers shopping. If you find others items in your space, please bring to front register. When shopping the store, be on the lookout for your items. Shoppers tend to leave items in wrong places.

With that said, this is a part of retail. All stores have to deal with shoplifting. TN has cameras. We do our best to protect all items and have prosecuted shoplifters. Items you put in TN are at your own risk. If you notice something missing, please send an email.

TN insurance does not cover vendors items, fixtures or property. This includes theft, natural disaster’s, fire, and more. You may want to consult your insurance agent about coverage. By signing the contract you acknowledge that you understand this.

By liking, following, and sharing TN posts on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube – you are helping to attract shoppers to the store. Imagine if all the other vendors did this, how many people we would reach. Its a group effort and it works.
