The Red Door Chicken Coop Flea Market — Local services in Texarkana

The stars given are for the sellers who choose to set up spaces and sell their goods within this establishment. I hadn’t been in this specific business in a long time. I’m talking a year, two years or longer? Sufficiently long enough that I can’t quite recall, ok? Though I am verging on being a life long picker….from 2013 onwards I drastically curtailed my shopping frequency. Becoming sole caregiver to a parent with frontal temporal lobe dementia can affect one’s outlook permanently. I realize that there won’t be a UHaul in my funeral procession. My mom died in 2016, abd within a year of her passing I was diagnosed as having Chiari Malformation & Syringomyelia. The latter of those two medical terms means that my malformed skull which affects my cerebellum brain node…literally creates pressure on it forcing it to drop down into my spine itself …has also forced brain fluid into my canal where it forms a brain fluid filled cyst known as a syrinx. That syrinx affects the nerves in my spine. If iit remains unchanged I do okay but, otherwise I have a mix of symptoms. One of the symptoms was that my bladder was being affected. I have since then explained myself better to my doctor, and have medication that pretty much rectifies the problem. At the time of my visit…..I hadn’t yet been for my most recent check up. Now this is what is unique in regard to me. I shopped in this shopping center in its various incarnations over my life span. I realize that shopping center is compromised I of a group of aging buildings, therefore old…aging plumbing. Plumbers were costly pre Covid & pandemic & now, between the effects of those & this current economy —-truly awful, cost wise. My homeland it’s plumbing are 61 yo. So…yes while I shopped aisle by aisle in this business a& meandered about having a lovely time filling my shopping cart (a very unusual feeling because I had NOT done that in ages, whether I be amassing things to buy at an estate sale, a thrift shop or even a mall store….i really strive to be frugal. I was being impetuous on that late afternoon in regard to my shopping. As I kept browsing & choosing items, I knew my bladder was filling up. I tried my darnedest to keep shopping but—but need to empty my bladder overrode the need to shop. Now being that I shopped in the exact same location when it was home to the Salvation Army thrift shop I full well was aware it had facilities. Therefore I went to the front counter, to ask to use their restroom. They provided me with the key. They didn’t know me from a man in the moon otherwise. Didn’t know my health. Didn’t know of my congenital neurodisorder but granted they did allow me access to the bathroom. I’m the type person that I will generally try to leave the premises looking better than I found them. It’s literally almost a quirk in regard to my wiping the sink area off. I hate getting my own clothing damp and feel others are probably the same. So anyways I finish, return the key to the business proprietors a& continue shopping. Yes. I was truly buying more than I should have, budget wise …but it was a treat that I rarely indulge in. So time is starting to fly by. The afternoon is becoming near evening and I needed to be wrapping up my shopping & yet, again I had to pee. Yup. I usually don’t throw that word around I try to be more genteel. And really? I didn’t like having to take time to go pee, again. 👀. Well the second time of my asking …..was met with disdain. The female informed me that she would allow me to use their bathroom again —-this time. was despite the fact that I had cake up to the counter with a shopping cart full of items which when they were rang up—-totaled to almost 100.00usd. To some that’s small potatoes but NOT to me. I was a fool to literally go ahead and purchase the items. I pointed out that I was making purchases. They informed me that normally they aren’t required to accommodate shoppers restroom request unless said shopper has a doctor’s note. I’m sure they will be happy to read that I...

This place used to be great me and my husband could spend a fue hrs and a fue hundred dollars and leave happy but now never again will i step foot in there if you not happy owning the business get out...alot of older people need a restroom there old...if i cant shop at peace knowing if my non gallbladder body does not have a restroom then i will not shop... why ...?? so i can be thinking the whole time theres no restroom...I have been going here for years and now even if you are spending money you cant use one of the multiple toilets? Mabey iam wrong but its not right...

Will never be back. If you are a vendor here would take notice. The old man behind the counter is running customers off. He seems more concerned with playing world of war craft on his laptop than helping customers. He was extremely rude with my wife when she asked to see some items in display case. I guess we were bothering him. We were prepared to spend quite a sum of money. We immediately put our items down and left. I had to compose myself before I caught a charge. Either way they lost my business and will pass this along to...
