OPEN A STORE · MEMBER & MAKER
Open a store
Member & Maker is a membership marketplace in Ottawa. Four stores are open and one is opening, and every product is Clean-Reviewed against one published standard. If you run a wellness store, you can open one here and sell to members.
Founding stores
The first ten stores are founding stores. For a founding store, the application is waived and the pilot build is free. Five founding stores are live now and five places remain. Stores are shown in join order.
Each founding store owes three things: its own invitation to its own customers, one member event a year, and permission to tell its story.
How it works
- Apply. Complete the store-owner application — about 15 minutes. Apply to open a store.
- Clean Review. Your catalogue is reviewed against The Standard, one product at a time. You receive a written per-product verdict either way.
- Streamline build. We build your storefront in our templates, with a members-only buyer room.
- Launch. Your store opens to members, with a launch announcement and a first-sale push within three weeks.
Members select the stores they buy from. Founders’ Circle members hold an advisory vote on store admissions.
