The Flamingo Island Flea Market is under new ownership as of May 8th. Rob Sieban of the Mile High Flea Market, says they were looking for opportunities in nationwide expansion and found that at Flamingo Island. “There was a unique opportunity to open in a Florida market, and with the season being so different than it is in Denver, it represented a lot of advantages for us.” Although there has been a change in ownership, Flamingo Island will not go through any drastic changes in look or operation, as Sieban avers the market was well run and maintained. “We bought a good market. It is consistent with the goals and mission statement we have at Mile High, and we plan on using this as not only a new opportunity, but also a learning experience for ourselves and the staff here.” What few changes will be made in the future are installing a booth and bank tracker, and making some system upgrades. Sieban notes all current management is staying, and the most important part of this new purchase was to ensure a seamless transaction so employees can operate. “We were open the same day. We are learning with the team as we move along and I am excited to see where we end up.”
