Downtown Memphis Commission - Encroachment
Main Street Mall & Court Square - Vendor Permit
Outdoor vendors and activities are a desirable element in the animation of Main Street Mall, and the Downtown Memphis Commission encourages such sidewalk merchants. In order to ensure a uniform standard of quality in appearance and operation, certain guidelines have been established. These guidelines must be followed for a vendor permit (Main Street Mall encroachment permit) to be issued and maintained. The Downtown Memphis Commission is authorized to approve or disapprove vendors on Main Street Mall according to Volume I, Chapter 7, Article II, Section 7-17 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Memphis. The Commission is further empowered to establish written rules and regulations governing operation of all common mall activities through Volume I, Chapter 7, Article IV, and Section 7-77 of the Code. The mall area as defined by Article IV extends from Peabody Place on the south to Exchange Avenue on the north including Court Square and Civic Center Plaza.
