A Flagship Property with a Proven Model

Mile High Flea Market spans over 80 acres and operates year-round, drawing thousands of visitors each weekend. With a unique blend of local vendors, food and beverage experiences, family rides, and entertainment, the market offers an experience that extends well beyond commerce.

Martha Stewart’s editors highlighted Mile High for its scale, variety, and family-friendly atmosphere—calling it a standout among the hundreds of markets they reviewed. This national recognition not only validates the quality and appeal of Mile High Flea Market but also affirms the broader vision that drives United Flea Markets’ operational approach across our portfolio.

Why This Matters

1. Validating the Experience-Driven Strategy
   This recognition supports UFM’s investment in transforming flea markets from transactional retail spaces into experiential destinations. Features like admission-based revenue, curated food offerings, and family entertainment diversify income streams and increase time on pavement.
2. Strengthening Brand Equity
   Endorsements from trusted national brands like Martha Stewart help elevate public perception of flea markets. This exposure builds brand trust and consumer interest —factors that strengthen both top-line and long-term asset value.
3. Market Differentiation
   In a fragmented industry, national media recognition sets our properties apart. It demonstrates our ability to take historically underleveraged assets and turn them into category-leading performers through investment, operational discipline, and local activation.

Looking Ahead

The inclusion of Mile High Flea Market in Martha Stewart’s list of the best flea markets is more than a moment of celebration—it is a signal of what’s possible when traditional formats are modernized through thoughtful capital deployment and centralized operational support.

As we continue to scale and enhance our network of 15 markets nationwide, recognitions like this reaffirm the momentum behind our strategy and the opportunity ahead.
