Sweetwater Flea Market, Sweetwater

I love this place been going since I was a child my buddy Kyle who use to run the game store around there died and it broke my heart the flea market is sadly closing for good on March 26th 2023 so if y'all are thinking of going then this weekend is your last chance although I went earlier this week and most booths are gone

I'm only giving this a five star review for the memories this place has made for me over the years now that it's shutting down for good. Honestly, the place has really been going downhill in the past five or six years, so it doesn't really come as a surprise as to why it's closing down; there's hardly any vendors and over half the booths are long empty. I used to go there two to three times a month with my grandparents, and it was always a trip that I looked forward to. There were numerous trading card vendors, collectibles, and the bookstore that used to be in the center aisle always had something to read. This was the main place that fueled all my hobbies growing up. I completed my Pokemon card collection using vendors here, I played Yugioh tournaments with friends here, and two of my beloved dogs were even purchased here. I have fond memories of passing by the "Beats um All" guy who was there every single weekend, buying whatever trading cards I was into at the time from several of the vendors, and every leather belt that I've ever owned came from the belt guys by the main office. It's been a fun 30 years of visiting, and I'm kinda sad to see it go, but given its decline over the past, I suppose that it's time to let it go. However, it will leave me with some very fond memories. Even with the decline over the past several years, it was well worth it. Even when I went for what will likely be the very last time today, I still found something to buy, as I always have every time I've went. And for that, I would like to thank the owners of the Sweetwater Flea Market for the many, many fond memories that I will cherish of this place, as well as the friendships that I've made with many of the vendors, some of which have long since gone. And to that, I say farewell to the Sweetwater Flea Market, and thank you for the many wonderful memories.
