Etiquette: Communicate with your neighbor. PLEASE TREAT OTHERS
AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED. Cooperate with your neighbors. This will save
time, confusion, confrontations, and most importantly, make our market a pleasurable
location to vend your goods and promote a long business relation with both the
market management and your vending neighbors. Vandalism, profanity, verbal abuse,
sexual harassment, or physical aggression will not be tolerated. Violators are
subject to immediate removal from the Market (temporarily or permanently). Subleasing
is strictly prohibited.
Parking: All vehicles are to be parked at the back of the
selling space, crosswise to the two parking spaces. This method is designed
to allow both you and your neighbor’s maximum selling space. Do not park
by just pulling in, as you would normally park. This blocks the view of both
yours and your neighbor’s merchandise. One (1) vehicle per vending spot.
All other vehicles must be parked in customer parking. Lot B is free parking
on Flea Market days only.
Cleaning & Release: Do not leave unsold merchandise in
your selling space at the end of the day. Trash bags are provided to sellers
