I completed the application on the portal, but I wasn't approved. Why?
Not being approved to sell at our markets can be for many reasons. The number one reason people are not approved is because they did not follow the written instructions for each step of the application process. We suggest you log into your vendor profile, click on REVIEW MY APPLICATION and review each step of the application to make sure that all written instructions are being followed. When in doubt, you can always call Market Management for a review of your application.
