Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pop up at The Op Shop?
Easy! Visit our Vendor Info page to apply. You don’t need to be a business owner — we welcome vendors from all backgrounds and experience levels.

What kind of rack and hangers do I need?
Bring your own setup! We recommend:

• Rack: Commercial-grade (250 lb capacity) with locking wheels

• Hangers: Heavy-duty velvet (choose a unique color or mark with washi tape to keep track)

How does setup work?
Setup takes place while the shop is closed and should take under an hour. Have everything pre-tagged and priced before your move-in.

What qualifies as vintage?
Items must be 20+ years old — yes, even early & mid-2000s counts now! We do quality checks to ensure no modern items are sold as vintage.

Do you buy vintage?
Yes! Sell to Us by sending photos of your pieces. We buy seasonally based on current shop needs.

Do you sell home décor?
We're mainly focused on clothing and accessories, but occasionally feature a small curated selection of vintage home items.

Why the name "Op Shop"?
Inspired by a secondhand store in my college town, the name stands for Opportunity Shop — and reflects our co-op and pop-up roots.

Why a co-op model?
By working together, we create a stronger, more sustainable fashion hub. It’s a win for small sellers and style lovers alike!

When did you open?
We opened on December 31, 2017 — a stylish start to a new year!

Where does your inventory come from?
Our unique mix comes from individual vendors who source vintage, design handmade pieces, or upcycle fashion. No two racks are alike!
