My Peddlers Mall Booth

As an avid auction goer, yard saler and bargain hunter, one of my favorite places to shop is at the Peddlers Mall.

What is a Peddlers Mall?

If you are not familiar with a Peddlers Mall it is basically an old building, usually an out of date Wal-Mart building, that has been revamped into a flea market type store. Within the last 11 years they have grown to 20 retail locations mostly which are within Kentucky and Indiana.

This store is very unique and different from a flea market because each vendor does not need to stay with their booth in order for sales to occur. Customers roam the store, make their selections and pay for their entire order all at the front counters. Each item in the store is marked separately by each vendors' tag. And so the cashiers take extra care, reading each tag and so on, to ensure sales are correct.

Then vendors are paid once a month for their booth sales, minus the booth rent, which is usually around $120 each, and a mere 4% sales fee. I believe. I'll have to recheck that.


A Look Inside the Store

The store itself is very unique. Every ten feet or so, you are presented with booths of various vendors. You see, each booth is rented out separately, so everyone's items vary in detail greatly. You never know what you will find. One vendor may offer antiques while the booth next to it may offer Nascar items. You just never know what you will find. The categories are endless.







Peddlers Mall in Morehead, KY

Our local Peddlers Mall is wonderful. It is located in Morehead, KY. I've been to a lot of them, but this particular one is awesome. I even have my own booth in which I sell the primitive furniture and decorating accessories I make. If you've been connected to me here, I'm sure you've seen some of my posts about re-doing furniture in the primitive style. If not, here's a link.





The aisles are always clean. The individual booths, most of them (99%), are very well kept. The workers are very friendly and accommodating. Overall, it is just a wonderful, thrifty shopping experience. Makes the hunt for treasures all the more fun. Not to mention how much money you save rather than shopping retail!





Do you have a Peddlers Mall close to you?

Closing the Weekend Out

Ahhh. I have had a full day. So doing a little quick post tonight.

Yesterday was sooo slow here. That's the reason I had so much time on my hands to post alot here. My husband had to work, so he only had a one day weekend and that was today. So we done alot of running all day long, trying to fit as much as we could.

Then when we finally got home this evening, I spent about an hour and a half leaf blowing the driveway. Then the driveway turned to the side yard. Then, of course, I did the front yard, etc. Well, anyways I am happy it is done, as I love a well maintained yard. And pretty soon I'll be decorating for Christmas and won't need to bother with the leaves then. Of course, unless more fall or blow all over again. As our yard is huge.

I am missing the auction that we regularly go to tonight, (Sunday.) Just because we've literally ran outta run-around time. lol. I have alot to do to get ready for the week ahead tonight.

I did however, find some great deals today out shopping. I was estatic to find a stone crock bowl at the Peddlers Mall for $1.25! I think they left off a number somewhere. lol. But I was way happy to get it. Then we went to a flea market and found all kinds of goodies. One booth was loaded with all types of new, gift items. So I ended up with three bags just from her. I will use alot of them for small Christmas gifts.

And now, here it is 6:27pm, so I need to go check my emails and get my online activities taken care of. On my way now to the Comments Club posts! :-)

Did you have a busy or relaxing weekend?

Saturday Shopping

I am almost ready to head out shopping this evening. My husband made it home early this morning and he's had time to sleep a while, so we'll get out soon. We're going to Lexington, it's the largest shopping town close to here. And it's about an hour away at that. We are in eastern, KY. We usually head to West Virgina once a year around Christmas for some shopping also, because it's only like an hour an half from here. But I don't think we'll be doing that this year. I'm getting older, lol, and it seems like a long, long way to go just for a little shopping.

The malls in Lexington are pretty good. But I don't really like the mall scene. I never have really, not even as a teen. I like to look for individual stores, it just seems more fun and cozy to me.

Well, I guess my hubby is ready, so i better go. I did have just enough time to answer all the Comment Clubs posts in my email this morning. So that's great! Keep them coming! Gives me something to do when I'm bored. :-)

Have a great day Gather friends!
