The Double Take’s Pop-Up Market is a monthly weekend event held inside YSM’s Double Take Thrift Store (310 Gerrard St E, Toronto, ON), where local artists, creatives, and small business owners can display and sell their handmade products, artwork, and services.

The market is designed to offer a welcoming space for vendors new to in-person markets or have limited market experience, allowing them to sell their products directly to customers for the first time.

OUR GOAL is to foster a community that supports and empowers individuals to pursue their passion for creating and growing small businesses. We aim to raise awareness among our community members and shoppers about the importance of supporting local artists and small businesses. Our vision is to create an event that draws Torontonians to the Double Take’s Pop-Up Market for a full-day experience.

DEMOGRAPHICS AND FOOT TRAFFIC

YSM’s Double Take Thrift Store sees over 300 daily customers, our shoppers are savvy community members on the lookout for great cheap deals. In addition, we attract locals from the Cabbagetown neighborhood who have a strong appreciation for handmade, high-quality products crafted by local artists and makers.
