artow Flea Market opened its doors over three decades ago after being converted from a drive-in theater to an outdoor market. Locals had enjoyed the exchange of goods for many years until a hurricane tore apart the shopping area. After being rebuilt and on its 34th anniversary Bartow Flea Market falls under new management.
Juan and Jenny Quinones, an investor couple from Tampa, saw the interest the people of Bartow had for its flea market and the commercial potential it represented. Since May of 2008 the flea market has seen many efforts to improve its image and worked its way up to be what it is now, a fun place for shopping with live entertainment, delicious food, and great deals.
Our commitment does not end there. We are constantly working on advertising, upgrades, improvements, and developing new ideas to increase attendance and stay competitive in the 21st century. See you there!
