Vendors

Over 180 active vendors buy and resell Street Roots weekly in the Portland metropolitan area. They buy each newspaper for a quarter that they in turn sell for a dollar. Each edition of Street Roots highlights a vendor who sells the newspaper. Our print edition is on hiatus because of the pandemic.
