If you love the thrill of finding a great bargain, discovering vintage treasures or stumbling across something you didn't even know you needed, there's a shopping destination right here in Kokomo that deserves a spot on your list!
Vendor City Flea Market offers more than 20,000 square feet of shopping space, over 200 vendor booths and 40 showcases, making it a massive indoor treasure hunt filled with unique finds.
In the latest episode of Kokomo Uncovered, partnered with Robert Miller & Son Furniture, we're taking you inside this longtime local business to see what makes it such a fun place to explore.
A Giant Indoor Treasure Hunt
Located at 537 S. Reed Road in Kokomo, right next to Ollie's, Vendor City isn't your typical retail store.
Instead of shopping merchandise selected by one retailer, visitors can browse hundreds of individual vendor spaces, each offering its own unique collection of items.
That means you might find vintage decorations and antiques in one booth, collectibles and nostalgic toys in another, and furniture, home décor or household items just around the corner.
And that's part of what makes shopping here so much fun!
You never really know what you're going to discover.
Whether you're searching for a specific collectible, looking for an affordable piece of furniture, decorating your home or simply enjoy browsing unusual finds, there's plenty to explore.
More Than 20,000 Square Feet of Shopping
Vendor City has been part of the Kokomo community since 2013, growing into a large indoor marketplace with more than 200 vendor booths and 40 showcases.
With so many individual sellers bringing their own merchandise into the space, shoppers have access to a wide variety of products all under one roof.
And because vendors regularly update their booths, the inventory can change from one visit to the next.
That means even if you've shopped here before, there's always a reason to come back and see what's new.
For anyone who enjoys thrifting, antiquing or bargain hunting, Vendor City offers the kind of shopping experience where taking your time is half the fun.
Have Something to Sell? Vendor City Has Opportunities for Vendors, Too!
One thing shoppers might not realize is that Vendor City isn't just a place to buy things.
It's also a place where individuals can sell their own merchandise!
Vendor City rents booth spaces to sellers who want to offer their items to shoppers.
Whether someone has antiques, vintage collectibles, home décor or other merchandise they'd like to sell, they can inquire about becoming a vendor.
Rather than operating like a traditional resale shop that purchases items directly from the public, Vendor City provides space for individual sellers to showcase their merchandise.
It's a concept that creates opportunities for local sellers while giving shoppers access to a constantly changing selection of items.
The Perfect Indoor Shopping Adventure
With colder weather approaching, Vendor City is also a great option for anyone looking for something fun to do indoors.
Grab a friend, bring the family and spend some time exploring the booths.
You might walk in looking for something specific, or you might have absolutely no idea what you're hoping to find.
Either way, there's a pretty good chance you'll discover something interesting along the way!
