2025 SLOcally Made Vendor Application

Hey there! SLOcally Made is back for year 9 and if you ended up here, that must mean you’re thinking about joining. Welcome! Think of this as a hybrid between a retail store and pop-up market. For the 9th year now, we’ve provided a bridge between local makers and local community through the creation of temporary store in Downtown San Luis Obispo in December. The community has shown up every year - and we don’t expect anything different this year.

2025 Dates: Nov. 30 - Dec. 24, 2024 (25 Days). Downtown SLO (Location TBA)

There are 2 ways to be a vendor this year (some changes so read through carefully):


Core Vendor:

Who this is: Our core team has their own self-curated booths in the store, helps work shifts, is highlighted most in the marketing, helps with workdays and is the heart of SLOcally Made. (10-15 Vendor Max)
Shift Commitment: work 11-14 shifts
Commission: 22%
Work Days: 2 out of 5
$500 deposit which will be refunded in your final check as long as you fulfill the full commitment.
You should have enough product to fill a busy booth for the entire time

Retail Vendor:
Who this is: vendors who are testing the waters on a new business, have a limited product line or want a simple commitment without work shifts. Retail Vendors are curated throughout the store and we set your items up.
