![]() ![]() We do not accept applications for buy/sell imports. Pop-Up acceptance is highly competitive and based on merit: quality of work, originality of work, branding, and online presence (website and socials). Submission of an application does not guarantee approval. REVIEW PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION: We currently offer one move-in-ready pop-up space. If your business aligns with the market's core values and vision, you will receive a response to your application within a few business days.

As we are seeking well-rounded companies to feature, The Rust Belt is not a platform for hobbyists. ![]() The Rust Belt Market is home to independently-owned, creative-based small businesses. Work is juried on process, quality, artistic merit, design, and merchandising. We strive to foster an environment of growth and evolution within a competitive yet welcoming, driven community of small business owners. Our weekend destination is not a light commitment but can help grow your company if you aspire for more and rise up to the challenge. Get your goods in front of customers who may have never discovered you otherwise. Sometimes online retail can feel like an echo-chamber but having a shop at The Rust Belt can help fill that vacuum with valuable face-to-face feedback in realtime. The market environment allows patrons to slow down and enjoy the good things in life-family, craft beer, and connecting with innovative people like yourself. Its residents are engaged with local businesses and radiate a cool that attracts day-trippers and world-travelers alike. Many of our merchants operate successful online shops, participate in seasonal festivals, wholesale their merch, and benefit from having a consistent (small yet effective) brick & mortar. Our shop spaces are affordable with far less overhead costs than a typical lease but have all the benefits of being on main street. Ferndale is a walkable, discerning little city and a hub of outside-of-the-box thinkers. The Rust Belt Market goes beyond the typical stand-alone storefront and offers creative minds a homebase. ![]()
