Become a Vendor

We are excited that you’re interested in becoming a vendor! We pride our vintage mall on having constantly revolving vintage products that are new and exciting.

Capital City Vintage was started from the ground up in 2021. Working tirelessly over the past three years at markets, malls, and doing a vast amount of market research between Canada and the USA on the market, trends, what other malls do in terms of function & software, marketing techniques, vendor displays, and themes - we now have a brick and mortar store.

When you have the right space and marketing the customers enjoy their experience.

How are vendors paid? Vendors are paid on the first of the month (as long as it isn’t a holiday) via Email Money Transfer.

Why no Walls? We have selected a different and more open and inviting set up. Walls also assist with theft, and limit creativity.
