Earlier this year, vendors were told the long running flea market would be closing its doors. Many were given until Sept. 30 to relocate their businesses.
The city also waived fees for occupational licenses for current vendors operating at the flea market for one year.
The Opa Locka Hialeah Flea Market has been part of the South Florida community for 40 years.
In July 2017, the New York-based group Gramercy Property Trust bought the flea market and planned on giving it a makeover.
