Becoming A Shop Owner

Now is the time to start your own shop!

Thanks for your interest in leasing a Shop at Shops by the Lake.

Spaces are approximately 100 square feet or 10 ft. x 10 ft. While there is no long-term commitment Shop owners must provide One Calendar Month notice (based on the 1st of the month) in writing when vacating.

Monthly Rent options for Shop:

Summer Season-April 1st-September 30th
$100 and 25% commission
$120 and 20% commission
$140 and 15% commission
$160 and 10% commission

Shop owners who join in Winter Season will be lowered to Summer Season rates starting April 1st and will stay at the lower rates.

Shop owners are required to work 2 days per month. Positions include Cashier, Walker, Greeter, Service Desk and Wrapper. One day must be a weekend day.

You are welcome to decorate your space any way you wish – paint, wallpaper, paneling, shelves, etc.  You provide your own shelving, tables, etc.  Prices for your items are determined by you but you must use our price tags/stickers on your items.  These tags/stickers are available to you at our cost.  The uniform price tags help with security.

Items are purchased through a central check-out area.  Every two weeks you receive a print-out of the items sold, your original price stickers, and a check.  If you have a vendor’s license, we will pay to you the tax we collected on your sales, or we can pay sales tax for you.

Upon sign-up you will need to purchase a welcome packet that includes nametag, price tags, apron and a few extras. There is a $50 security deposit refundable after 6 months or when you vacate.

We are open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM.  Come in anytime to look over the store and talk to us about becoming a Shop owner.
