Attention all TOP sellers: THE RANDOLPH STREET MARKET IS WHERE IT’S AT!
For anyone who wants to get in front of the most influential and well-traveled shoppers, RSM is unlike any other market in the country. In fact, many visitors from around the globe consider the Randolph Street Market to be THE MARKET of markets!
When we began this journey in 2003, the West Loop Fulton Market was totally sleepy and super affordable. Since then, the WLFM has become the hottest and priciest hood in the city. It’s now home to many sports and entertainment folks, tech geniuses, business movers and shakers, along with internationally recognized Michelin restaurants like Girl and the Goat, Smyth, and Elske, plus it’s now a real hospitality hub with Robert de Niro’s Nobu Hotel and London’s Soho House, all just down the street. And throw in some incredible new concept stores Billy Reid, Notre, and SVRN, style hunters abound up and down Randolph Street!
Consistently named as one of the Top Ten US Antique Markets by Architectural Digest, USA Today, Travel & Leisure, UK Guardian, HGTV, goop and many many other news outlets – the Randolph Street Market gets a clientele unlike any other “flea” or local market, hosting professional and retail shoppers with taste and wallets to appreciate and BUY authentic unique goods from super talented people like you.

New This Year: dealer layaway plan!
The Randolph Street Market is a democratic enterprise and we want talent of all shapes, sizes and economic circumstances.
We want to make it easy for you to lock in a space without having to pay the entire invoice upfront if you need to conserve cash. However we also do not want to hold any spaces without some type of non-refundable deposit so we can plan accurately on who will be attending.
When you sign up for a show, we will require a minimum 50% deposit to hold space with the remaining balance payable up to 21 days prior to the market date. Without full booth payment by this date we will release your reservation and return your deposit minus a $50 processing fee.
If you cancel anytime within 21 days of the market date, there are no refunds just full credit towards another market in the same calendar year.
One day only sign ups will be available as applications come in and if we can accommodate we will but may be last minute.
Booth sharing is allowed ONLY by permission and both vendors must be listed and pay separately.
Anyone who is selling and collecting money under their name or a business name must have a City of Chicago Itinerant Merchant License. The cost is $25. If you are accepted, we will send you a link where you can pay the $25 fee directly to the City of Chicago.
