Business Opportunities at Findlay Market

Find all the information you need about renting market stalls on this page. Quality space is available for rent both indoors and outdoors at Findlay Market. Regionally famous, centrally located Findlay Market offers free lighted parking, ADA accessible facilities, maintained public restrooms, weekly e-mail promotion, and a unique shopping environment. Indoor stands are more expensive than outdoor stands and are licensed to merchants on a long-term basis. Indoor vending is a full time (six days each week), year round occupation. Space in the outdoor market, located on the streets surrounding the historic market house, can be rented by the week, month, or on a daily basis for as little as $25.00 per day. Growers and cottage producers who qualify for the farmers market typically rent space by the season to sell on Saturdays, Sundays, and/or Tuesdays. Findlay Market is eager for new vendors in all three areas of the market and more information about each, including applications, rules, and rental rates can be found below.

Full Time Indoor Vending Stands

Outdoor Vending

Outdoor vending space is available year around on Elder and Pleasant Streets adjacent to the market house. Outdoor stalls measure ten feet by ten feet. The market does not provide electric service, water, shelter, tents, tables, chairs, or other amenities. Trucks, trailers, and other vehicles are not permitted but the outdoor market will accommodate health department licensed, NSF compliant mobile food carts. Advance reservations are recommended but not required. You must pay before setting up. Market management assigns vendors to locations based on the type of product being sold and the vendor's seniority in the market. A complete set of rules, an outdoor market stall diagram, and other documents are available for review or download below.

Farmers Market

Space in the farmers market is reserved for vendors selling agricultural products they grow themselves. When space permits, the farmers market is also open to "cottage producers" who prepare food or craft items from scratch in their own homes. Cottage food producers must complete and submit a Cincinnati Health Department Food Vendor Information Form prior to selling at Findlay Market. The farmers market operates on Saturdays from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm from March through December. Most stalls in the farmers market consist of nine foot wide parking spots adjacent to an open sided shed. Growers can back their vehicles up to the shed, which provides some shelter from the weather. There is electric in the shed, but no water. The market does not provide tables or chairs.
