Flea market moves into renovated space at Tea exit

Jan. 25, 2019

Picker’s Flea Market, Antique & Collectible Mall has moved to a different location in the same neighborhood near the Tea exit on Interstate 29.

The new space is west of the former building but still on the east side of the interchange.

Owner Henry Bakker gutted the leased building so he could start from scratch, making sure that the space was bright and clean, “with no musty, old smell.” He put new metal on the outside too.

The flea market is filled with merchandise from 42 vendors, ranging from furniture and glassware to collectible toys and old signs.

Bakker said he’s satisfied with the number of vendors because he’s able to keep track of their inventory, allowing him to direct customers when they’re looking for something in particular. Almost every one has been with him since he bought the rights to the business name in November 2015 and moved operations out of Sioux Falls.

The vendors bring in new items frequently, “and if it sits there for two months, they’ll mark it down.”

There’s additional room in the building, so expansion is possible, Bakker said.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
