Animal Welfare Center opens new Flea Market

After nearly a two-year interruption, the St. Croix Animal Welfare Center has swung open the doors of its new Flea Market and hosted a grand opening Saturday that drew early morning crowds looking for a good deal.

The Flea Market is contained to a bright blue structure that used to house the Cast Iron Pot, in La Grande Princesse. After scaling its staircase entrance, patrons encounter a main lobby and several rooms that have each been curated to hold clothing, housewares, children’s items, art, and furniture.

The bustling Flea Market “was insane this morning, wonderful actually,” St. Croix Animal Welfare Center’s Flea Market Manager Jan Richards said before adding the shop’s operating hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
