o    NEXT AVAILABLE: A “Next Available” space is $22. Our parking crew will direct you to the next available space in the area we designate. This choice is the most economical and suits most vendors well.

o    PICK: “Pick” spaces are $45 each. These are best suited to the vendors who are familiar with our market and know the area they would like to sell in. “Pick” spaces are first come, first served. No one may hold a “Pick” space for another person. This type of space must be immediately occupied by a person, with product, and a valid license agreement.

• Public Hours 
  • Friday 10:00a to 3:00p

• Signage & Flyers - If you have banners or signage for your business you are welcome to bring them. Any freestanding signage must be within your space boundaries. Safety is our first concern; properly securing signage is a must. We'll be glad to provide guidelines. Vendors providing flyers to entice business must do so from within the space boundaries. Flyers may NOT be placed on cars in our parking lots.
• Space Boundaries - All spaces are clearly defined. Space size is approximately 18x20. Vendors must ensure that all merchandise remains within the boundaries of vendor’s spaces to allow clear ingress and egress by customers.
• Safety & Sanitation - Denio's (with the help of our vendors) works diligently to maintain a clean, sanitary and safe environment for customers. Vendors are responsible for continuous cleanup and sweeping, out to and including the middle of the aisle, both in the front and back of spaces. It is imperative that walkways and pathways be clear of trash, debris and boxes as well as excess merchandise at all times.

Trash & Recycling -  There is NO recycling of glass, plastic or cans from Denio’s trash cans or recycling bins.  All trash cans are for the use of public customers, NOT VENDORS.  You, as a vendor, are expected to take out everything you brought in: product you did not sell, broken or non-working product, all packing or strapping materials along with cardboard, foam, boxes, newspaper or debris of any sort.   Trash removal is costly.  Enforcing trash removal policies may result in fines, billing to accounts or loss of selling privileges.  Just Remember….WHAT YOU PACK IN, YOU PACK OUT!

Sun Shelters -  Canopy or shade shelter framing and legs must fit completely within the space boundary lines.  Overhangs must not extend more than 24” beyond space boundary lines.   All framework, whether pipe and fittings or “pop-up” or “easy-up” style must be constructed in such manner (including but not limited to size, pipe gauge, diameter, additional bracing, tie downs, flat base “feet”) as to safely support the canopy material and/or any suspended displays from collapse or movement.   Each leg must have appropriate weights and if the legs are not inserted into a weighted container then a flat base plate (foot) must be attached.  Weights and anchoring systems must remain attached at all times to prevent any movement whatsoever.  Flat bases on the end of each frame down pole are to prevent damaging asphalt.   Properly installed and secured, perforated mesh, allowing airflow is a prerequisite for any canopy and shade shelter material.   Denio’s strongly recommends vendors NOT use any solid material (including but not limited to tarps, synthetic or natural fabric, bed sheets, blankets, factory-installed “pop-up or easy-up” tops etc) regardless of how the material is installed or secured for canopy or shade shelter covering.   You will be held financially liable for any mishaps (damage or injury) that may occur,  including excessive asphalt damage.   Disregard for safety may result in loss of selling privileges. Safety is paramount and is the reason these prerequisites and recommendations are in place. Denio’s, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to require the immediate removal of any canopy or shelter regardless of material or structure for safety reasons.
