Welcome back!

Running a successful market business sometimes means asking for a little help.

Whether you need to add a new product category, request an extra table, reserve electricity, update parking arrangements, or ask another question, the Vendor Requests section is the quickest way to communicate with Market Operations.

Instead of wondering who to contact or where to send an email, you can submit your request directly through the Vendor Portal.

Let’s see how easy it is!

Why This Matters

Clear communication helps everyone work together more efficiently.

Submitting your request through the Vendor Portal ensures it reaches the right people with the information needed to review and respond. It also creates a record of your request, making it easier to track its progress and follow up if needed.

Using the Vendor Request system helps Market Operations respond more quickly while ensuring every vendor receives fair and consistent service.

Curbie’s Business Insight

Good communication solves problems before they become frustrations.

If you’re unsure about something, don’t wait until market morning to ask. Planning ahead gives Market Operations more time to prepare, answer questions, and help you find the best solution.

Asking questions isn’t a sign that something is wrong—it’s a sign that you’re committed to making your market experience successful.
