Pecan Park Flea Market Closes After 40 Years

After 40 years as a beloved Jacksonville institution, the Pecan Park Flea Market is shutting down for good—closing its doors September 27, 2026, after being sold for $8.55 million to build a car dealership. Vendors have until October 31 to clear out their stalls, or risk losing everything. For many, it’s not just a business—it’s home. Angela Herren, a leather goods seller, called it a second home and a global community hub. While some see the end as a fresh start, longtime shoppers and vendors alike are heartbroken, mourning the loss of a unique weekend tradition and vibrant community hub. The final weekend of business will be as usual, with gates closing for good by October. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
