Why Vendors Thrive in Carlisle

Local Demand That Delivers

Over 35,000 people live within 3 miles of The Carlisle Antique Mall — a dense, walkable, and growing community in the heart of Cumberland County.

Rapid Residential Growth

Cumberland County approved 2,128 new residential units from 2023–2024 alone, with hundreds more underway. The region is expanding fast — and CAM is right in the path of that growth.

Momentum That’s Still Building

Forecasts show steady growth through 2029:

0.70%–0.78% population growth per year

2.87% per capita income growth

2.18% median income growth

The Carlisle market is on the rise — and CAM gives vendors early access to it.

Strategic Downtown Location

Prime Downtown Location

The Carlisle Antique Mall is located at the signalized intersection of PA Route 34 and U.S. Route 11, two of the town’s primary state corridors. This high-traffic corner sees over 14,000 vehicles every day, offering unbeatable exposure for vendors and their products. With walkability to nearby shops, restaurants, and free parking, CAM is positioned in the heart of a thriving and visible downtown district.

Affluent Customer Base

The average household income within a 7-mile radius is $122,725, with strong earning potential even closer in:

5 miles: $111,188

3 miles: $107,863

That’s more buying power for your products and your brand.

Renter-Heavy Market

Within 3 miles, 43% of homes are renter-occupied — signaling strong turnover, mobility, and constant home design refreshes. Perfect for vintage furniture, decor, and rotating style-driven inventory.

A College Town That Keeps Growing

Dickinson College

Founded in 1783, Dickinson brings over 2,300 full-time undergraduates to downtown Carlisle. With guaranteed on-campus housing for all four years, hundreds of students live within walking distance of CAM year-round. The vibrant student community fuels weekday and weekend foot traffic, supporting local shops and vintage finds.

U.S. Army War College

Located at Carlisle Barracks, this elite graduate school brings over 800 military officers and their families to the area each year. Unlike most colleges, on-base housing is completely unfurnished — no beds, sofas, or dining tables — so nearly every family shops locally to furnish their home. Many are new to the area, have limited time, and are ready to buy. That makes Carlisle Antique Mall a valuable resource for furniture, home décor, and everyday essentials. These families also visit the downtown area regularly throughout their 10-month stay, driving steady foot traffic year after year.

Penn State Dickinson Law

One of the nation’s oldest law schools, Dickinson Law draws a focused cohort of graduate students, professors, and visiting scholars. While the school offers no on-campus housing, most students live just blocks from CAM in walkable downtown apartments — creating steady daytime and after-class shopping traffic.

Easy to Find. Even Easier to Park.
