WHY THE GRAND BEDFORD

A Williamsburg storefront
for independent brands.

At 165 Bedford Avenue, eight carefully selected makers and designers will share an intimate, street-facing seasonal retail destination. A coordinated presentation brings the collection together; each brand brings its own products, perspective and selling team.

Curated for complementary merchandise and a welcoming shopping experience—not simply to fill tables.

On-site selling staff, inventory, their own POS and transactions, customer service, applicable sales tax, and required insurance and product-compliance documentation.

Free public entry. Daily hours, site-use approvals and final contractual arrangements will be confirmed before participation agreements are executed. No sales volume or foot traffic are guaranteed.

SHARED PROMOTION

One market.
Eight brands.

We will introduce the participating makers together through a public market website, vendor directory, coordinated social campaign and shareable promotional assets—including an individual spotlight for every selected brand.

Vendors are invited to collaborate in telling the story of the market and their products. Promotional activity is part of the collective presentation, not a guarantee of visitor numbers or sales.

YOUR RETAIL SPACE

Eight curated stations.
A clear central aisle.

Each participating brand receives one 48 × 24 in table with a designated seller area. The eight-station layout keeps the market intimate and easy to browse.

Preliminary planning footprint; dimensions, access clearances and assignments to be verified before setup.
