Monthly booth rent depends on the size of the space and where it is located in the store. Most spaces have a monthly booth rent of roughly ~$75. We also take a 15% sales commission on top of booth rent per month.

Nope! We process rent at the same time for all vendors, so to keep rent processing simple we do not require any form of payment upfront. This also provides vendors with the opportunity to make sales in their space before rent comes out of their account.

No, our staff handles all sales transactions at a central checkout counter, so you don’t have to be here daily.

Nope! High Cotton receives and pays out sales tax, so you don’t have to worry about that.

High Cotton is open 7 days a week! Mondays-Thursdays and Saturdays we are open from 10am-6pm, Fridays 10-8, and Sundays 12-6. You can come and restock your booth space anytime during opening hours!

What you do with your income isn’t our business. Feel free to reach out to your accountant or the IRS website to learn more about whether you need to claim that income.

Nope! You’re welcome to get one but it’s not required.

High Cotton has over 100 vendors who sell all sorts of different new, used, and handmade things! Some examples are handmade goods, clothing, jewelry, and home decor, but use your creativity and sell what you think would be successful in Dickson. Many vendors like to go “junkin’” and resell unique items or create their own. We can’t wait to see what you sell!

Yes. We try to keep High Cotton safe for young eyes. So if there are inappropriate or controversial words or images on what you sell, it may or may not be a good fit. If you can cover it up and explain what it says, sometimes that can be a good alternative. Other items that aren’t allowed are low quality “yard sale” items that have zero value, drug paraphernalia, drugs, or alcohol. Ask a staff member if you’re not sure!

Yes! Just about every day, our social media team promotes vendors on our social media platforms.

Rent deductions and your sales payouts are all digitally automated so we don’t take cash, check, or other digital currency. This is all from a checking account. Rent will be processed between the 1st-5th of every month. We do recommend getting a separate checking account to keep your books separate, but that’s completely up to you. Since we deduct rent each month, you must keep enough in the account to cover rent to avoid possible NSF fees.

We only require a 3-month commitment from new vendors, and after that, we only require a 30-day notice to leave. Customers need time to find you!

Our finance system is specifically for retail store vendors like you. That means you’ll have your own account where you can input your inventory with a product name and price. This software will keep track of what has sold. We even have a dedicated computer and label printer for vendors so you can input your items from home and come to the store to print them out for free. You’re welcome to buy your own label printer if you prefer. We’ll teach you how to do all of this!

Consider your space your tiny storefront. It will be your job to keep your space clean, tidy, and stocked. We will do our best to let you know if you’re running low or if your space needs attention, but ultimate up to you. Our staff keeps the hallways and public shared areas clean.

Absolutely! Depending on the space you choose, you can decorate it to make it your own. In some cases, you can paint, bring in your own wooden or metal shelving, lamps, or rugs. Just ask the manager about what you can do in the space.

We find that the more vendors come in, the more they sell. It’s important to keep an eye on your space so you can see what’s selling. We recommend making a habit of coming in at least once per week.

Sometimes it takes time for vendors to get their footing, for customers to find you, and for the right shopping season to hit at the right time. If you don’t make enough sales to cover your rent for more than 3 months in a row, we’ll have a chat and see if we can help get your numbers up or possible downsize your space. If your sales continually don’t cover your rent, we may decide together that it’s not a good fit at this time. So it’s important to decide on a space that is financially feasible and fill the space well so that this doesn’t happen.

Absolutely! Email info@highcottondickson.com, call the store, or come in person to tell the manager or cashier the percentage of your sale and the duration of the sale. Sales must include your entire booth and can’t be specified per item.
