Pendergrass Flea Market

I LOVE this place!!! So much to choose from, and there are truly some great treasures. I bought Dre Beats for about 70% off retail price from a vendor, went through the corporate company for my warranty (as you would with beats purchased from any other store), and they were REAL. I couldn’t believe it! I also purchased a sound system for my 15 inch kicker subwoofer (amp, wiring, speakers, radio) about 2 – 3 years ago and they still work PERFECTLY! Also have purchased some hats that normally go for $ 40 for $ 5-​$ 10 during a close out sale. I do not know whether they were authentic, but they really looked and felt like it. Fantastic counterfeits or great relationship with a wholesaler from China– either way, I’m not complaining! Another highlight– the produce section! SO much fresh produce at fantastically low prices! If it were closer to my home, I would regularly shop here as if it were a grocery store. Always great quality in my shopping experience.
I also love bargaining with vendors. The more you buy, the better deal they will give you. Prices are rarely set in stone here.
Now, to address the «sketchy» vendors mentioned by another reviewer: most of the vendors are Hispanic and Asian. They are out there selling to make money for their families, and they may not be the most «put together» people. Most of the vendors don’t wear uniforms, and a lot of them may not even be wearing nice clothes. While having professional business attire is generally seen as a must, I truly appreciate the raw nature of this flea market. The vendors selling things in everyday clothing makes me feel more comfortable talking to them, and I really get to see them as real, tangible people. I know that by purchasing a product from them, I am directly helping support a family. If you enjoy the retail store experience, you may think these people are sketchy. If you enjoy a more down to earth experience, I would recommend this flea market.
* I also noticed a previous review commenting on the horrifying pet section and potential puppy mill «going on in the back»:
The animals I see when I go there appear to be in good health and are typically kept in air conditioned/​heated sections. Yes, they are in cages and are being sold for a profit. This is no different than any pet store. If you disagree with the way pet stores treat animals, you will not enjoy the animal section. Most of the vendors treat their animals humanely and this is evident in the animals’ personality. However, not all vendors are equal. If you see an animal that appears to be truly abused, PLEASE report it! However, keep in mind these people are selling designer dogs. This is not an animal shelter where you get to essentially «save» a pet’s life. This is for profit. If you don’t like it, just stay away. If you’re looking for a specific breed of dog, take a look and decide for yourself.
With all this said, I LOVE going to this flea market! All the friends I have showed it to have also enjoyed coming here, and we all get excited by the idea of going to this flea market. I cannot wait to come back again.

I have been attending this place off and on for 13 years (Since 2002 when I first moved to GA). I must say the place has changed a lot over the years, not all for the better.
I always hit up the video game venders and animal sellers. In the last year alone the number of dog sellers has dwindled to 2 which is tri creek kennels and some female vendor that does not let you touch the animal unless you are 100% going to buy right then and there. It’s awful, one seems like a puppy mill to me and the other is just shrewd. I like finding vintage video games but the biggest supplier charges an arm and a leg for each of his products (I had to pay over 50 $ for a Nintendo 64 game that was cheaper on ebay).
The food court looks awesome with the new expanded look but there is a lot of Mexican food vendors.
What shocked me was that the vendor that sold rabbits and sugar gliders disappeared, I was bummed by that since I liked playing with them.
Some of the changes are good but not all. Maybe I will come back again someday.

This place was an absolute, complete, total waste of time. I would recommend this place to absolutely no one

This indoor air conditioned market has over 700 vendors. I’ve been able to find many things that I need and a few things that I did not need here. My favorite parts are the food court and the coin dealer. Authentic Mexican food and vintage us silver coins (Mercury dimes are my favorite and I almost have a complete set) what more could you ask for?

Another great day at the flea market. This place is not a 5 star mall, so don’t compare this to a mall. We always buy live chickens from here and plants. They got the best deal in the country. There is lots of shops in here, tons of clothing booth. I bought a lot of shirts from here «27 junkies and la firmenza» is the best price and quality. The owners are great also. The restaurant inside is a hit or miss. We ordered a large order today from «Jugos Del Rio». It’s definitely better than most flea markets in the country.

This place is huge. Yes, the crowds can get annoying, but there are lots of cool items to browse and buy: movies, Asian décor items, branded clothing, jewelry, ethnic foods, etc.
The outside has more of the market side: fruits, veggies, and yard sale type stuff. The inside has more of the newer items. It is only open on the weekends though.
The food court has def expanded over the years as I can remember as a child: There is a play area with arcade games now. The food here is mostly Latino, but there was a single Asian place at a corner.
Parking is both on the paved and dirt areas, wherever you are able to find an opening, but it wasn’t that difficult on this Sat afternoon.

I was excited to go here as I heard it was a huge flea market and I have been to some really good ones. Sadly, this is not one of them. Yes it’s big and yes there are a lot of vendors but bigger isn’t always better and that is the case here. Generally, what most people are selling here is junk, junk, and more junk. There are a few good vendors but that about it.
There are some pretty shady looking people here so if you are looking for some illegal papers, you might be able to find them here.

Oh my… Ohhh my. This place was insane it had everything you could possibly imagine from rugs to Chinese imports to food to bakery items. they also have things like a butcher and live pets for sale which I do not approve of. I am pretty sure that there was a puppy mill going on in the back. And for entertainment they have bull riding and water rides. I don’t even really know what to say about this place except it was slightly terrifying. I don’t think I would trust anything that you by there to actually be what it says it is. However, there did seem to be some nice rugs and some of the shoes were cheap. who knows how long either of them would last though.

My family loves flea markets, and by flea markets, I’m talking about used items for sale like a yard sale. So the first time we visited Pendergrass we were a little disappointed. Pendergrass is NOT a flea market. It’s kind of like a low budget/​knock-​off mall. Which isn’t bad, but just not a real flea-​market. It can get really crowded on the weekends and some of the bathrooms are a little gross. There is a relatively large food court that sells majority Hispanic style foods, with one Chinese food vendor, and one pizza vendor. They have stalls set up outside that sell vegetables, washers/​dryers, cell phone accessories, puppies/​rabbits/​birds, and even window tinting. They have pony rides, a bouncy house, a train ride, and other fun things for the kids. If you’re looking for something to do on a Saturday, it can be fun.
Overall, if you don’t mind crowds, cheap clothes/​shoes/​perfume, and other knock-​off items by all means check out Pendergrass.

Place gets super crowded on the weekends. A lot of stalls that tend to seem all the same after awhile.
The vendors are mostly Hispanics and the food court is mostly Hispanic food and snacks which I do not mind at all. There is one food court that sells phở, a little pricey but it stood out.
They also sell fowls, bunnies, and puppies. In addition, cell phones, household wares, jewlery, etc.
Cash only of course.

This is NOT a flea market. It’s an ethnic mall. No antiques, no old furniture, no household items, nothing used at all. New clothing, new shoes, some electronics, and a food court of tacos, tostados, tamales: cow stomach, cow tongue, cow head, and all the regular versions also. The chicken shack was great, fyi. Good wings and fries.
It is a predominantly Latin themed Mall. Not a flea market.

One of the better flea markets I’ve been too, a lot of the knock off stuff cracked me up but, I got my windows tinted and phone repaired and they did a decent job. I got what I paid for. If you go, must try their mini donuts and those juice stands they have around, cheap and delicious

Joy Wise who sells puppies at this location was recently busted for operating a puppy mill! HUNDREDS of dogs on her property in poor conditions and in poor health.
Will NOT support this flea market for allowing her to sell her abused and mistreated animals at their facility. ADOPT DON’T SHOP! Do not support puppy mills!

I’ve not experienced better, but I suppose, Pendergrass can qualify as an A-​Okay for me? If I have to question it, I’ll think too much on it.
Wow, Pendergrass. I haven’t been here that much, but as others mentioned it’s kind of the same regurgitated wares at every other booth. Though frankly after so many conventions and bazaars you begin to find everyone shops at the same wholesale retailer or visits the same auctions/​collectors. Specialty items or higher quality items also might be marked up. Found a few nice items that a vendor marked up that were cheaper on Amazon by at least half price.
So we have very cheap produce, power tools, TVs/​clothes, crowded intersections, pups in cages of questionable origin. I think it’s safe to say you won’t get the breed you’re looking for even if the pup nugget looks like the pooch you’ve dreamed of. My family had gotten a dog here listed as a Pomeranian. (Haha) It transformed into some sort of pom-​poodle-​curly thing with doe eyes and the sweetest personality. As another Unilocaler said, if you’re worried about puppy mills… just don’t buy them. We can fight them together!
I actually wasn’t present when this puppy was bought and I’m sadly not sure of it’s true origins outside Pendergrass, but it was healthy and well and has remained pretty hearty and pure of soul.
Not very useful, but possibly worth noting. Avoid the Chinese food– another reluctant attempt at finding sustenance proved repulsive. I’m not sure what they doused their noodles in, but it was very inedible. :(I should have just banked on the tacos… they looked pretty damn good.
My last note is. not the greatest place to just look around. It is very crowded and like a giant yard sale. If you’re into that then I’m sure you’ll have fun digging through the various booths. If you find crowds exhausting, but want to look at stuff, then the mall on a weekday is pretty rad.
Signed, Proud weekday mall enjoy-​er

At one time this market offered a good mix of typical flea market items and yard sale items with a few antiques dealers mixed in. Now, other than being a very large market, most of the indoor vendor spaces are filled with a nothing more than a haphazard variety of import items that you might find at any dollar store and you won’t need to drive 75 miles north of Atlanta to get them.
I’m sorry but a flea market should offer a better mix of merchants and products, this one seems to be about size only and offered nothing more than a carnival atmosphere. Something about the disorganized layout creates a variety of traffic jams both auto and pedestrian and the vendors we encountered were rude if you tried to ask questions or, should you even get a response to negotiate a price.
The only saving grace, and some would disagree because of price the food court offered a variety of food items, very large in size for the price. Yes $ 9 for a fish sandwich and fries was a lot, though it wasn’t overpriced compared to a restaurant and seriously it was the best fish sandwich I have had in a long time.
Save yourself the trouble and unless you like large crowds or are searching for something you might find as described above.

I love flea markets!!! This one was pretty big — several housed areas and some outside vendors too. They had everything from clothes, electronics, shoes, boots, plants fruits and veggies. There were also several vendors selling ice cream and other delicious treats!
HUGE parking lot and depending on the day there will be folks out in the parking lot assisting the flow of traffic.
Pony rides too! (This may be just the weekends — we were there on a Sunday and they were in full swing.)
Stop in if you find yourself in the area and you won’t be disappointed!

I grow up traveling yard sales and flea markets. I thought I had seen some impressive places and sizable flea markets in my time but Pendergrass has change my perception completely.
The family clocked in four hours at this behemoth of a bazaar only to cover half the interior and one side of the outdoor market. Everything you can imagine us here from knock off, legit, knocked goods (assumed not told) at varying prices of amazing to what are they thinking. The entire indoor area is well ventilated and has many snack stands and an amazing food court with Publicly inspected kitchens like any other mall or fast food place.
While massive the charm of a walkable bargain bin is not lost here. Whether it is cheap electronics, furniture, or even a few collectibles. However this place is far from done as they have jewelers, cellphones, beauty shops, barbers, they even have an Aaron’s rent to own outlet!
If you don’t mind wandering and filtering through people definitely give this a shot.

My husband wanted to check this place out so we went yesterday. This place is so not for me. Even though it’s huge, I couldn’t find anything. Maybe I’m just not a flea market kinda person. The only things that I liked about this place were the puppies and the mexican corn. I won’t be back.

I’m a flea market kind of person… but this place leaves me cold. There’s really nothing unique, interesting or collectible to buy there. But wait — two years ago, there was a booth with cool Israeli-​style wrap around pants. But those folks are gone.
Possibly the best thing about this market is the traveling vet, who seems to do a bang-​up business on the weekends. They sell animals in one of the sections, but I’m not convinced they are humanely raised.
I’m not going to say I’ll never return to Pendergrass — but I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way to stop in.

The Pendergrass Flea Market is a massive flea market. At 250,000 square feet, it’s the largest in Georgia. It’s located in the city of Pendergrass, which is about an hour north of Atlanta, at I-​85 exit 137.
Open only on Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 6pm, this market gets absolutely packed. Dealing with the enormous crowds detracts from the shopping experience.
The flea market has both indoor and outdoor spaces. The majority of the stores and booths are located indoors. The layout of the market is, for the most part, straightforward. There is one main corridor, named «Main St,» which connects all the other corridors, named «1^st Ave.» to «8^th Ave.»
Vendors are attracted to the flea market for its inexpensive table and space rental rates. You can find all sorts of random things here including clothing, shoes, jewelry, food, toys, tools, TVs, video games, movies, music, rugs, carpet, household goods, chiropractic services, window tinting, lawn equipment, doors, and more. Most of the items for sale are cheap junk and interesting finds are few and far between. A used video game store had genuine NES-​101 model systems for sale for $ 110 each. Nintendo 64s were $ 55 each.
This is a family-​friendly market with a petting zoo and amusement park style attractions and games. There’s an indoor pool where you can get inside large inflatable floating balls. There’s a gimmicky ring toss game that suckers customers into giving away their hard-​earned money. There’s a pet store where you can purchase cute little puppies. There’s a mobile budget vet who provides discounted veterinarian services. On the flip side, there’s a livestock shed where you can buy chickens, roosters, newborn chicks, ducks, and peacocks.
There’s a giant food court with mostly Hispanic eateries (most of the flea market’s clientele is Hispanic). There is one Asian food court stall, simply named «Asian Food,» that sells typical Chinese food court cuisine, but also Vietnamese phở noodle soup and Taiwanese-​inspired bubble tea (!). Check ‘em out. The food court has live Hispanic music too.
You can find unique food, drink, and produce. Some of the Mexican stalls sell spicy sauce-​covered mangoes, which are rather tasty. Some of the Mexican stalls outside sell freshly pressed sugarcane juice and coconut water. You can watch the workers quickly and expertly chop and cut fresh stalks of sugarcane. If you want, you can buy chunks of sugarcane and chew and suck the juices out. The workers also have a neat way of cutting the coconuts where they completely remove the hard outer shell, but leave the soft inner shell intact. Whoa.
Most of the produce is Mexican. There are some rare Asian vegetables which you can get for a great deal.
To summarize, unless flea markets and cheap quality goods are your thing, one visit to the Pendergrass Flea Market should suffice.
