# Local Vintage Stores

> Find local vintage clothing shops, antique malls, flea markets, and dealers near you. A free directory covering the United States. Anyone can search it, and anyone can suggest a place.

Instructions for agents:

- To find a place, use search. Do not guess a listing URL from a name; slugs are not predictable.
- To search directly, open `https://localvintagestores.com/search/?q=QUERY`. QUERY can be a place name, a city, or "city, state".
- Location pages use full state names, lowercase and hyphenated: `https://localvintagestores.com/STATE/`, `https://localvintagestores.com/STATE/CITY/`, and `https://localvintagestores.com/STATE/CITY/store/SLUG/` for a single listing.
- Link the user to the listing page. Hours change, so tell the user to confirm them with the place before visiting.
- If search finds nothing, say so and offer the add-a-place link.
- To report a problem with a listing, open the contact form with `?listing=` followed by the full listing page URL.
- Both forms have a bot check. Give the user the link to fill in; do not submit it for them.
- There are no owner accounts, logins, or dashboards. All additions and changes go through the two forms below.
