We formed an LLC with three vendors.  Secured a lease from the city for a location.  Hire or pay yourself out of the stall fees to be the manager.  Spaces are rented to vendors.  Some vendors - those that are interested can pay to join the LLC as a partner.

there is no 'we', only 'me'....anything that needs to be done is my
