So You Want to Vend in South End

Here is everything that you need to know!

South End CLT hosts several pop-up events throughout the year with the goal of supporting local entrepreneurs who are interested in growing their business in Charlotte's center city. Vending at pop-up markets is coordinated by our programming partners.

If you are interested in testing out a concept in a store location, there are two South End spots you should know about:

• Charlotte Collective – a collection of local, women-owned concepts under one roof, where you can rent your own space in a single storefront. There are locations in South End, steps from Camden, and also Plaza Midwood. Learn more.
• Coterie Concept – a new storefront collab from the owners of The Brown Sugar Collab and Five13 Studio, where entrepreneurs can rent space to pop-up your own shop in South End. You can rent the space for your shop by the day, the weekend, or the week. Coterie Concept is opening soon. Learn more.
