Fleamasters Flea Market — Attraction in Fort Myers

This review is for "THE ENCHANTED DRESS" store in the Flea Market. I would of give a 5 star for the great selection of amazing dresses and for how humble, helpful and nice Ms. Dawn is. She made my teenager daughter feel welcome and comfortable.

We went there a couple of times. Last visit Ms. Dawn told us the dress my daughter wanted was about $160 and the day we went to purchase she charged me $244. I was angry and disappointed. I felt she fooled us. I wanted to say something but since my daughter was right next to me I decided to leave it. I don't want every time my daughter look at her prom dress she remembers her mother arguing with the dress store lady.

My husband was furious when I told him and he ask how it happened. Well, after we decided what dress to purchase I asked the lady to tell me how much I owe her with the tax. She stayed quiet.I found it weird. She has been very talkative with us at all times. I thought she didn't hear me so, I asked again. She goes begin the register counter to hand write down a receipt. Right there I noticed she was nervous. She was avoiding eye contact. Then she gives me the receipt and when I see the price I looked at her and she still avoiding eye contact. Then we ask about the bow tie for our male friend and she didn't even let us see it. Like she wanted us gone. She was acting like a total different person. Then I got quiet and my mind got full of thoughts but even tho I wanted to react differently I decided to let it go. After all we have been saving money for this dress and it was still on our budget. I didn't even tell her I noticed what was going on. She seems a strong lady but she is appears to be older than my mother. I still think letting it go was the right thing to do but it has been bothering me for days now.

Anyway, If you are in look for a wonderful dress go here but be prepare to pay a much higher price if you don't purchase the same day. If you asked me if I would go again. I don't think so. It would be awkward. It is sad though. I always recommended her store and we bought my daughter's middle school graduation dress...

Fleamasters Fleamarket 6-14-24 We just love browsing and shopping in this place. They are only open 9-5 Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. If you’re looking for fancy, you’re better off someplace else as this is not the place for you. They claim they have over 900 stores on site. I don’t know if that’s true but after walking through the entire buildings it just might be. The building isles are broken up into colors as in Blue Isle, Orange Isle, Yellow Isle ect so you can find your way around easier. One this to note its hot inside these buildings even though they have fans all over the ceilings. Bring something to drink or make sure you get a drink there if you’re visiting in the summer months. They have at least two bars and two food courts inside for those that want to quench their thirst or hunger. In a separate building they have a large stage to put on shows. If you need a wheelchair, they also rent them, so you don’t have to bring one with you. The entire first row on the west side of the building is handicap parking so you will have easy access. You can bring a pet inside with you, but it must always be leashed. They have way too many items for sale to mention them all. I will name a few just to give you an idea. They have Jewelry, Rugs, Pictures, Tools, Fishing Rods, Sunglasses, Watches, Hats, Shirts, Dresses, Stockings, Shoes, Pet Supplies, Gowns, Signs, Pocketbooks, antiques, grafts, Golf Carts, Kitchen Supplies, Tables & Chairs, Toys, Fruit, Candy, Vegetables, this is just to name a few. Most places sell new items but there are a few with used items. You can find bargains there you just have to look around for them. I am sure this place has items you cannot find any place else. This is a fun place to browse, shop and eat as long as you want. We mostly wait for rainy days to go there so we can take our time looking around. I believe everyone needs to visit this place. I give it a 5 out of 5 stars because of all the little stores and it’s just a cool place to be. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On FB For More...

If you are looking for odds and ends, antiques or bargains better than a dollar store, this place is for you.

There is farm fresh produce on the edge of the market- good prices for good portions. There are several stores that carry the same thing so look around before you buy and make your best deal.

If you are looking for books, movies, cds or vinyl, there are lots of dealers- I’d buy it while you got it in your hand! Prices are good already.

If you get tired or hungry there is a “food court” on either end in the center of the market where you can sit and eat. There are plenty of choices of food and beverages for all ages.

There is live entertainment at noon and 2 depending on the day. It’s free so it’s worth getting out of the house if you had nothing else to do. That undersells the talent but the point is you won’t be bored.

This is not a mall so don’t expect that type of experience. It’s outdoors. It’s hot. And people walk aimlessly or are seemingly oblivious that they walk slow and in your way when you’re behind them. Isles can be narrow when there are tables in the center - so have patience.

This shopping trip is for the adventurous bargain hunter. Even if you’re not, everyone should go at least once and see what they’ve...
