Our Story

Built by the community, for the community.

Yorktown Swap started in 2023 with one idea: give local sellers an affordable, no pressure place to set up shop — no storefront, no long lease, no barrier to entry. Owner Ishla Olson wrote the business plan herself, hosted the very first swap in a borrowed parking lot, and grew it one weekend at a time into a fixture inside the Newgate Mall.

Today it's a mixed market where makers, collectors, small businesses, and neighbors set up right next to each other — and everyone shopping keeps their dollars close to home.

01

Community first

A reasonably priced place for locals to sell — and a reason for neighbors to come together and support each other.

02

Open to everyone

Not just registered businesses. Makers, collectors, side hustlers, and service providers are all welcome to set up a booth.

03

Always something new

Vendors sign up on a rolling basis, so the lineup shifts every swap. No two visits look the same.
