Hello neighbor,

I'm struggling with downtown rent and will have to close EverLocal at the end of July.

Since I have to close the store, I could still be responsible for approximately $90,000 in remaining rent under my lease.

I do have an agreement in place that would allow me to fully exit the lease and avoid that remaining rent —
BUT ONLY IF I can make the required rent payments through July.

Any support would be appreciated.

May July

Commercial leases are complex. This is a simplified explanation.

Vendor Program Benefits


  • Helps local makers get started
    The Vendor Program gives local artists, makers, and small brands a chance to share their work in a real retail setting without the high cost or commitment of opening their own space.

  • Reduces risk for small vendors
    Because items are sold on consignment, vendors are not taking on the same upfront risk they often face with booth fees, shop rent, or unsold inventory.

  • Provides steady exposure
    Instead of only being seen for a few hours at a pop-up or market, their work can be discovered by customers in the store on an ongoing basis.

  • Saves makers time and effort
    Selling at events often requires a lot of setup, transportation, staffing, and breakdown. The Vendor Program gives makers a more efficient way to showcase their work so they can spend more time creating it.

  • Supports a stronger local shopping scene
    By making it easier for small vendors to participate, the program helps bring more original, handmade, and small-batch goods into the store for the community to discover.
