Our Vision

Forest City Market House invites local makers, artisans, and small business owners to join us for our 12-weekend Holiday Market as we build a permanent, year-round retail home in downtown Forest City!

Located in the historic Graham Cash Building on Main Street, our market house offers your business all the benefits of a prime storefront — steady weekend foot traffic, low overhead, and high-visibility front window displays — without the high costs and long hours of running a standalone shop.

We view our vendors as true partners. We are committed to supporting your growth, offering flexibility to accommodate your operational needs, and providing continuous assistance as we build this community hub together.

To ensure every vendor has room to shine and thrive, our juried application process maintains a thoughtful, balanced variety of goods so you never have to worry about an overcrowded lineup of similar products.

We know your time is best spent creating, so we will make selling with us as effortless as possible. Vendors can manage their own spaces using personal POS systems, or rely on the Central POS system to handle sales on their behalf for a modest 10% commission fee. You are welcome to staff your space directly, but when life calls you away, our Central POS team handles your sales seamlessly so your shops can stay open even when you are not there. On the 10th of every month, each vendor will receive their direct payouts, complete with itemized sales reports.

Our marketing strategy is built around our vendors. With a firm belief that our vendors' success is our success, we will promote you through as many means as possible. Every vendor will receive built-in promotional support — we will actively promote your business by name on signs throughout the Market Area, on social media, and through local media highlights, giving your brand extra exposure throughout the community.

We're here to help you move in, set up, and have a wonderfully successful season. Reach out today to reserve your spot in the Graham Cash Building and help us build something special from the ground up!
