We’re so excited for you to join us for our next Point Pleasant Beach Fresh Market!

First things first, and this is very important: Please save 732-481-4691 in your phone as Fresh Markets. If you need to cancel within 24 hours of a market date, including the morning of, you must text that number with your name, business name, and the date(s) you need to cancel. 

Market Managers do not receive emails while on site, so texting is the only way to ensure your message is received. If you do not show up on the day of the market, your absence will be noted as failure to follow our cancellation policy and therefore will not be scheduled for future dates. 

The event will go on rain or shine. We do not offer rescheduling or refunds for last-minute cancellations. Please review our cancellation policy on your vendor dashboard if you have any questions.

Food Vendors: Board of Health 

• All food and beverage vendors must be approved by the Board of Health before participating in our markets. For more information, check the BOH section in the dropdown menu on the left side of your vendor dashboard. 
• Instructions and application info can be found on your vendor dashboard: asburyfresh.com/dashboard

Load in info [please read this carefully]

Point Pleasant Beach Fresh is located at 317 Cooks Rd, Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. This is a NJ Transit Parking Lot.

• Vendor load in time is from 7:30 am - 8:30 am. After turning onto Cooks Rd, make your first left into the NJ Transit parking lot and wait at the entrance to receive further instructions from a team member.
• You will not be placed if you arrive early. 
• ‼️Once your spot is assigned, you can drive to your spot and unload your vehicle. You may not begin setting up until you move your car and park it in the designated parking zone.
• If you are not on-site by 8:30 am, our market manager may reassign your assigned space. We do this to avoid gaps in the setup.
•  If you arrive after 8:40 am, you may not be permitted to set up, reschedule, or receive a refund.
• The market begins promptly at 9 am. You must complete your setup by that time.

‼️If you are running late due to an emergency, traffic, etc you must text the Fresh Markets # so we are aware that you still plan on coming or can no longer make it. Parking Information, aka “Where do I park?”:

Park your car in the NJ Transit Parking Lot as directed by our team.

Breakdown Time is 1 pm [please read this carefully]

All vendors must remain at their spot with their display intact until 1 pm. Early breakdown and slow packing are not permitted. 

‼️You must take down your tent and display first before getting your car. This ensures an easy flow for all vendors to pack up and leave promptly. Those who choose not to follow these rules will not be asked back to the market.

Your vendor agreement specifies clear breakdown times. Packing up early disrupts the experience for shoppers and vendors alike. Staying until the designated end time helps maintain a vibrant and cohesive atmosphere. Many vendors see significant sales in the final hours, and early departures can discourage last-minute sales.

We know - it’s a long day! If you’re feeling tired or restless, take a walk, explore, and meet your fellow vendors—you never know what kind of connections (and friendships) you might make. 

Please note: If you have an emergency and need to leave early, please see the Market Manager first so they can notify vendors in your area.

All About Your Vendor Space + Dos/Donts:

Your space for Point Pleasant Beach Fresh 10x10 will be located in a section of the parking lot for NJ Transit. 

What should I bring? A tent (10x10 or smaller; larger tents will not fit in your space) and tent weights. You must bring your own table, chairs, tablecloths, banners, etc. 

‼️Because this event is on pavement, you can not use stakes 

‼️Every tent leg must have at least 50 lbs of weight attached—no exceptions. Even on sunny, calm days, unexpected gusts can cause serious safety hazards. From experience we know that 10, 20 or even 40 lbs can not be enough. For additional weight, if you have a heavy bin or cart, bungee it to your frame for added support. 

‼️No proper weights = no setup (and no refunds) Tents and proper weights not optional, they are a requirement to participate in outdoor markets.

What Can’t I Bring? No large retractable banners and/or flags are permitted. If you have confusion on what you can/can’t bring please email team@asburyfresh.com in advance. We can help!    

FAQs:

Electricity: There is no electricity on site. If you need electricity, we recommend using an portable electric generator. Gas generators are loud and cause fumes, so if you need to bring a gas generator on site, please email team@asburyfresh.com so we can place you strategically. 

Facilities: There are no indoor bathrooms on site. There will be a portable bathroom. Ask your market manager if there are any nearby restaurants/stores in the area if there are indoor bathrooms available.

Making Sales: Creating a balanced market is very important to us—you may only sell items that were pre-approved on your application. Want to add new products? Email team@asburyfresh.com at least 2 days before the market to request approval. Selling unapproved items without permission may result in removal from the market. 

Food and Snacks: You are surrounded by Point Pleasant’s many food establishments, however they are not directly adjacent to the event.. You can also grab food/snacks/coffee from our food vendors (highly recommended!)
