How to Apply for an Illinois Retail Rental
We pride ourselves on welcoming vendors from all walks of life and special interests to our Illinois retail spaces, whether they’re bringing rare Hot Wheels in pristine condition or homemade knitwear and upcycled fashion. If you think you have what it takes to sell and rent a space at an antique mall, you probably do! The first step is determining what you’re interested in selling and gathering as much stock as possible.
Once you’ve landed on your niche (which, of course, can always change), it’s time to send in an application. Find the “apply now” button on our Algonquin vendors page and fill out the attached form with your name, contact information, previous seller experience, whether you’d prefer a showcase or a booth, and what you’d be selling. Once completed and sent, our store manager will reach out with further steps.

Everything You’ll Experience When Renting at Algonquin
Choosing to rent a booth instead of opening your own Illinois store is the best way to remain hands-free without losing business. Unless they’re stopping by to restock their shelves, vendors are not expected to man their rented area in the store during our hours of operation. Our knowledgeable employees will handle all of your daily sales, cutting your workload down and enabling you to shop for more antiques in your free time!
Above all else, America’s Antique Mall is a community. When you get approved for our Illinois retail spaces, you’re immediately welcomed in with open arms from your fellow vendors, our kind staff, and the shoppers themselves. Make sure to leave your contact information in your booth or showcase so that the customers and vendors drawn to your merchandise can connect with you further outside of the mall itself.
