After four decades of weekend shopping, bargain hunting and memories, the Pecan Park Flea & Farmers Market has officially closed its gates.<\/p>\n

The longtime Northside Jacksonville destination welcomed shoppers for the final time Sunday, September 27, marking the end of a 40-year run.<\/p>\n

For many customers, Pecan Park was more than just a place to shop. It became part of their weekend routine and a place where families could spend time together while browsing hundreds of vendor booths.<\/p>\n

The market eventually grew to more than 700 vendor stalls, offering everything from clothing and appliances to collectibles, tools, car parts and other hard-to-find items.<\/p>\n

The property was sold earlier this year for $8.55 million to a partnership with the Butler family, owners connected to a Georgia-based automotive group. The site is expected to be redeveloped as an automobile dealership.<\/p>\n

The Macon, Georgia-based group lists 15 dealerships and three collision centers on its website, including Butler Toyota Jacksonville<\/a> at 1290 Cassat Ave.<\/p>\n

While the market is now closed to shoppers, vendors still until October 31 to clear out their spaces. <\/p>\n

The entrance gate will be closed on weekends throughout October, and the property will no longer be accessible after October.<\/p>\n

For generations of Jacksonville shoppers, though, the final day was less about what comes next and more about saying goodbye to a Northside tradition that had been part of the community for 40 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After four decades of weekend shopping, bargain hunting and memories, the Pecan Park Flea & Farmers Market has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[163696,116,118,117,163422,125953],"class_list":["post-413270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-butler-toyota","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-pecan-park","tag-pecan-park-flea-market"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
