First and foremost, Flea By The Sea will open it's tents to vendors and the public on Friday, May 1, 2009.
FBTS is a planned flea market located in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn off of Stillwell Avenue in what was once part of Astroland.
According to John, Flea By The Sea will feature 4 huge circus-style tents with 8x10 feet and 10x10 feet selling spaces inside. FBTS will be open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and will have live entertainment every weekend along with food vendors and other vendors selling just about everything under the sun.
Vendors who choose to participate in FBTS are encouraged to reserve their space from now by emailing: fleabythesea@gmail.com or calling 888-940-8881. Their website: www.fleabythesea.com will be up in a couple of weeks.
Thor Equities has allotted over $500K to advertise and push this market into the public psyche, so most of the tri-state area should be familiar with FBTS by the middle of the year.
With very few flea markets in the tri-state and the threat of the most famous ones - Aqueduct (in Queens) and the Meadowlands (in N.J.) - being shut down, FBTS is looking very attractive to vendors who are looking to expand or off-load product.
