Waco Flea Markets, Nearby Outlets And Thrift Stores

By William Thomas


When it comes to shopping, whether for gifts or necessities, there are several places an individual can go to do so. In some areas, discount, thrift shops and vintage stores are often popular. Whereas, there are three Waco flea markets which also have a lot to offer.

The three markets include Jen's Bazaar, the Treasure City Flea Market and the LaSalle Shoppes. As with all of these type markets some of are better others. Although, when it comes to these three in Waco, most agree that these are better than others. Shopping can often bring about hunger, when this happens in Waco, , the city has some of the best restaurants offering everything from Burgers to Sushi and beyond.

As most traditional flea markets are only open on weekends, it is nice that two out of three of the most popular in the area are open seven days a week. One of which is that Jen's Bazaar. For, the owner understands that there are some individuals whom work on weekends. As such, the owner tries to make sure that everyone whom desires to shop at the location has a chance to do so.

In most cases, stores in the area have a four and a half to five star rating on websites such as Yelp. While this is the case, it should be noted that as these type stores often have high traffic, some of those disappointed in conditions with the bathroom or walking paths may have just been at the wrong place at the wrong time. As such, it is important that while there may be negative comments in these areas not to necessarily let those comments decide whether or not to visit the establishment.

The LaSalle Shoppes are more of a local outlet mall rather than a flea market. At the same time, the store has a lot of antiques, collectibles and vintage goods. In addition, located on LaSalle Blvd, it is conveniently located just off the main freeway. As such, it is popular and often quite busy, especially on weekends.

Whatever the reason for visiting one of these markets, people often find something of interest. When looking for a particular antique, collective or vintage item, it can often be good to call ahead to see if the store has the product. As the area is very popular with antique lovers and vintage shoppers, some items can sell out even before arriving at the store.

If visiting the local visitor center in downtown Waco, be sure and check out the retro candy store, wine bar, local shops and the historic dine-in theater. For, while the wine bar and some shops are quite new, the theater has been located at the same place for several decades. Whereas, Sugar Baby offers everything from custom soda floats with ice cream flavors such as banana pudding and Jack Daniels to candies from the late 1800s to present.

As with antique malls in which there are often several booths, museum lovers, especially those with children, may also want to check out the Mayborn Museum Complex. For, there are three different museums located on the property. These include, a hands-on discovery center for children, an interactive natural science and history museum and outdoor exhibits. As such, it can often be fun make a stop by this multi-themed museum when visiting the area.
