Mesa Market Place Swap Meet

This places has a lot of cool venders. They have their year round vendors on the right when you come in and seasonal vendors when you come in and turn left . One place you should visit is Ms. Joy's booth. It on the left side for seasonal. She has had a booth for 5 years and her and her husband just added 2 more booths. One has jewelry, awesome bags and purses and yummy licorice!! Another awesome featured seasonal vendor is the Aloe Magic booth owned by a sweet lady who has an aloe cream that comes in two sizes!! She doesn't do social media she has a website aloeveraskincream.com. There is a season booth run by a man I believe he is Indian and he supplies goods to businesses all over Arizona!! They have golf cart purchases, suitcases, bags, clothes, food, and More!! Check out this market place

The GOOD: Lots of variety. Live music. Concession stands. SHADE!!! Lots of parking. Clean bathrooms. Decent width aisles.
The NEUTRAL: Prices are just prices. Neither high nor low. Some places will haggle while some post signs that they will not.
The 'REASON FOR ONLY 3 STARS': All advertising states the swap meet closes at 4pm. So that would infer that the swap meet is OPEN until 4. If a bank posts hours of 9am - 6pm one can reasonably expect to show up at 5:30pm and be able to take care of business. But not at the Mesa Swap Meet! A couple of weeks ago I made the trek out there and arrived around 2:30 PM on a Friday - only to find that many shops were already starting to shut down. By 3 PM more than half of the available shops were well into their closing process. By 3:30pm only a scattered handful of shops and the bathrooms were still open. Okay - so maybe that was just a Friday thing. So last Sunday I tried again. Although I wasn't able to get there as early as I'd hoped I still arrived more than an hour before 'closing' time. But found the same problem. Other disappointed potential customers were also venting about the duplicitous hours when a vendor spoke up and said, "Well it takes us an hour to shut down so we have to start now." SO THAT MEANS YOU DON'T CLOSE AT 4!! You LEAVE at 4 after you CLOSED at 3!! This would have been excellent customer service to know. I would not have driven all the way out there if I'd known the reality. So I'm not complaining that the swap meet closes at 3, I'm complaining that it is ADVERTISED as closing at 4.
To MANAGEMENT: Please consider changing your posted and advertised hours to reflect the fact that the swap meet in all practicality shuts down by 3? Or, can you insist that your vendors actually stay open until 4 before they start shutting down?
Thank you (and I hope this post saves someone from learning the hard way like I did!)!

Stopped by on Saturday and the parking lot was pretty full. Parking did take a while but that was expected. Upon entering, we quickly noticed how big this place was. Most areas were empty and you had enough space to walk thru and in other areas you were shoulder to shoulder with other people.

The selection of vendors was pretty boring. A lot of stuff that was being sold was outdated and random.. kind of reminded me of stuff that you see at a yard sale. Most of the people shopping and selling, were of an older crowd.

Most vendors weren't friendly and looked bored themselves. We walked down a few aisles and decided we were just wasting our time and we were to leave. One of the booths did catch my eye though, and I ended up buying my dog a cute Christmas sweater.

Overall, I would pass on this place. The pro? Its shaded.

If you like to shop Mesa is a mecca... You name it they got it.

I loved the local shop that had little cactus gardens and handmade clay pottery. Too bad I couldn't take them back to MN on the plane.

There was also food and live music. It is in tents outside so dress accordingly. It was cold when we went!

Great variety and opportunities to get a great deal. It's easy to lose your sense of direction when walking inside. This flea market has plenty to see and do including live music and places to sit, eat, and even order a beer. Most people will haggle with you but others won't. They do have restrooms and ATMs on site. Most vendors accept plastic too. Lunch starts at 10:30am and everything closes at 4pm.

We visited this place a couple of weeks ago around 1 PM on a Sunday. By 2 PM, the majority of the businesses were closed or wrapping up for the day. My suggestion is to go on a Friday or Saturday.

Everything you can imagine can be found here. My first time attending was on Black Friday & surprisingly it wasn't that crowded! It was the perfect day to browse and shop. Can't wait to go again!

I absolutely love the products of De'John's Candles! It is not only made with three simple ingredients with no toxins whatsoever, but made with love. Dee and John are amazing and I wish them many more years of business to come! As for Mesa Market Place Swap Meet, highly recommend o anyone looking for anything really- from the unique to the specific. It is covered, clean, and has amazing people running it.

We were so excited to go to this place we got up early so we could be there at 7:30 right when they open and we could spend some time there before it got to hot we drove 50 minutes to get there pulled in the parking lot and was all excited but we were quickly disappointed I get it that it is hot right now and it would be hard to be there all day but way more than half the booths were closed the ones that were open were prepared for the heat with swap coolers in their booths
If your only going to allow 1/4 of the vendors to open it needs to be posted on the web site or if your open they are open no excuses. We planned our day to drive all the way there and what a waste of time
VERY DISAPPOINTING

Visiting family here in Mesa and they recommended this swap meet. Very nice that it is covered/indoor as that helps with the heat here in Arizona. Decided to write this review especially for Kayla (sp?) who sells lots of pretty bracelets, fun stickers, and inspirational magnets, pins, etc. Walking through this swap meet with very nice vendors and interesting merch, we were unfortunately taken a bit aback by some displays of offensive signs referring to democrats and other pro-Trump nonsense. Kayla's stand caught our eye because she had a USA Pride flag predominantly displayed. We have LGBTQ family members, so feeling a little bit of support in what otherwise could be a hostile environment was such a blessing! We made sure to make a purchase from Kayla to show her the support this young lady so deserves. Let's show more support and not hate - that's way to go. Thank you, Kayla!!!
