York Corner Mercantile

Founder Q&A

Q · What inspired you to start this business?

As a vintage reseller, I had the dream to open up my own shop...but didn't have enough inventory on my own to maintain an entire shop on my own, so decided to create a vendor collective bringing in 40+ vendors and makers under one roof.

Q · Why Maine?

It's where I live :)

Q · What makes your business unique?

Unlike a traditional antique mall, all of our vendors goods and crafts are blended together and curated cohesively to create a unique shopping experience. The displays are constantly evolving and ever-changing as we have new pieces arriving almost daily.

Q · What has been your biggest challenge?

Having customers find us! We're in one of those buildings that you drive by a million times and tend to not notice. And because of our location on Route 1, it's easy to zip right on by us.

Q · What are you working on next?

Planning fun events, after-hours shopping events, and new ideas for displays.

Q · Which of your products/services is your favorite?

The goods made by our Up & Coming Artisans (makers under the age of 21) hold a special place in my heart

Q · Favorite spot in Maine?

I love the top of Mount A in York

Q · Are you accepting new vendors?

At this time, we are full and do have a waitlist, however, we are always accepting vendor applications through our website.
