Festival Flea Market Mall

Festival Flea Market Mall is an indoor flea market mall located in Pompano Beach, Florida. The established flea market used to be a Pompano outlet mall prior to its transformation into a flea market.[1] Festival Flea Market Mall is now a private company established in 1991 and incorporated in Florida. Current estimates show this company employs a staff of approximately 50 to 99 employees.[2]

The mall opened as Pompano Outlet Mall in 1986, and was put into foreclosure only two years after it opened. By 1989 the original outlet mall had closed entirely save for a movie theater. After a failed attempt to reopen it in 1990 under the name Broward Crossing, it was purchased by Shooster Properties and reopened in 1991 as a flea market mall.[3]

Festival Flea Market Mall is located at 2900 West Sample Road, two miles west of I-95 at the Florida Turnpike.[4] The mall itself is over a quarter-mile long and features over 800 stores with name brand merchandise at below outlet prices[5] Festival receives visitors from all over the world and is housed in a 400,000 sq. ft. building that features booths and kiosks that sell designer jewelry, electronics, clothes, and shoes.[6]
