I own a retail store — what do I need for entrance?
The MPLS MART is wholesale only and is operated to serve the resale business base. You must be an owner or a buyer for a retail/resale business, and all buyers who wish a badge need to establish their credentials with the Mart. To gain entrance, please bring:
- A photocopy of your state tax permit, or the confirmation letter from the Department of Revenue
- And either a business check or a business card
The Mart reserves the right to request further information. Once you have your badge, carry a photo ID on every visit — on selected days and events we confirm the identification of all buyers as they enter.
To get your badge, fill out the online pre-registration form.
