Vendor Stories

As a vendor I particularly like the indoor village square setting and beautiful storefronts of Vendor Village. Not only is it the best environment to display products rain or shine, but it also keeps the merchandise protected from damage. I design and sell fashion apparel and show competition coats, so this is especially important to me. It is a pleasant shopping experience, and I always meet friendly and interesting customers.

Annette Wallander

“Being a vendor at World Equestrian Center in Ohio has been a great way to get involved in the Midwest market. It’s been wonderful and really helped build my business in the territory.”

Becca MacWilliams

“It’s a very inviting and welcoming atmosphere. You just make connections with the exhibitors and all of the other vendors. And the staff—all they want to do it help. Everything is always a team effort at WEC.”

Sarah O’Brien

“We heard amazing things about WEC, about the facility, the management and the ownership. That’s what brought us here. And everything we were told is true! It really lived up to its reputation. It’s really nice to be out of tent and in a permanent structure. Being able to be in Vendor Village in such a beautiful environment, the décor and decoration is perfect and the flow of traffic and the people coming in to your store, it’s just a perfect fit for our products.”

Will Wilson

“We’ve been a vendor since 2016 and we love it at World Equestrian Center. Our boutique in Vendor Village is stunning. Vendor Village is so gorgeous and inviting, it’s really encouraged shopping. There is so much support from the venue and camaraderie between all of the vendors, it’s just a great place to be.”

Dana Miller

“Everybody loves it here at World Equestrian Center. The competition is great, the rings are great, and that makes people are happy and happy people shop, so that really helps the vendors.”
