PARKING INFORMATION:
Bell Works permits all vendors to load in through the East side of the building, known as the Blue Lot or Event parking. (If you have parked and there is a lake behind your spot, you are in the wrong place and will be told to move)
You may park and unload from your car, or you may pull up to the designated unloading ramps for drop-off only. If you unload by the ramp, you must unload all your items, park, then return to bring them indoors via the ramp.
If you block the ramp entrance, park in handicap parking, or park in a fire lane, even temporarily, security will approach you, and your car may be towed.
‼️We recommend having a cart and bungee cords to transport your belongings from your car to the inside of the building.
If you need to park at the main entrance of the building, you must receive prior permission from Fresh Markets by emailing team@asburyfresh.com in advance to request an access pass. If you are approved, you must unload from your parking space. No vendor vehicles may pull up and unload directly in front of the building under any circumstances.
