Located 1 block South of ASHBY BART, we are A  theater space that provides vendors with a location that offers the perfect locale with high foot traffic, visibility, and the necessary infrastructure to facilitate sales and create an engaging experience for patrons. Location Location,Location, and layout.

• Prime placement: Vendors should be located in high-traffic areas, such as the lobby, near entrances and exits, and around concession stands. Placing vendors in these highly visible, bustling zones increases the likelihood of impulse purchases.
• Flexible layouts: Spaces with adaptable configurations are ideal. BRG offers various options, such as providing tables and chairs, or allowing vendors to use modular setups and vertical displays to attract attention.
• Ample space: Vendors need enough room for their booth, display, and a queue without obstructing the flow of foot traffic. For large-scale events, having dedicated areas for vendors, such as a garden, patio, or separate event space, is beneficial. 

Essential infrastructure and amenities

• Access to power and utilities: Reliable access to electricity is crucial for lighting, point-of-sale (POS) systems, and any equipment the vendor may use. For food and beverage vendors, access to water hookups and kitchen facilities is also essential.
• High-speed Wi-Fi: Fast and reliable internet is a must for processing digital payments and for vendors to use devices like iPads or laptops for their operations.
• Sufficient storage: The theater should provide a secure, designated area for vendors to store inventory, boxes, and other supplies. This prevents clutter and keeps the sales area professional.
• Tables, chairs, and other equipment: Providing basic equipment like tables and chairs is a valuable amenity that can save vendors time and effort. Some venues even offer in-house equipment rentals for items like audio/visual gear or staging. 

Marketing and visibility

• Cross-promotion opportunities: An ideal theater will include vendor spotlights on its website, in newsletters, and on social media channels. The theater's digital signage can also be used to promote vendors during the event.
• Event integration: Integrating vendors with the event's theme creates a more cohesive experience. For example, a theater can partner with a local business for exclusive pre-show events or themed offerings.
• Advertising space: Offering space in the show's program or providing signage areas near the vendor's booth can increase a vendor's visibility to patrons. 

Operational and logistical support

• Security: Both the theater and vendors need a secure environment, especially when handling cash and valuable products. A theater with in-house security services can be a major selling point for vendors.
• Dedicated support staff: An in-house event manager who can assist with setup, logistics, and troubleshooting helps the event run smoothly and ensures a positive experience for vendors.
• Clear guidelines and support: Clear communication regarding load-in and load-out times, vendor fees, and other venue-specific restrictions is essential for a smooth process. A venue that allows for early access for setup is a key amenity.
