New OC Flea open every Fri., Sat. and Sun. in Hooper’s lot

OC Flea, which launched over Memorial Day weekend, drew decent crowds, but principal organizer Tony Sapanero expects the market venture will continue to expand.

“We sold a good amount of stuff, but were a little short of vendors,” he said.

Considering the contract to rent 2 acres of parking lot space at Hooper’s Crab House, located at the foot of the Route 50 bridge, was finalized only a week prior to kickoff, Sapanero was enthused by the initial results. He plans on running OC Flea every Friday through Sunday, 6 a.m. to noon, until October.

“Nobody does a flea market on a Friday,” he said.

With several markets already in operation around Baltimore, Sapanero expects OC Flea to become the crown jewel.

“So far this is the biggest lot we have,” he said. “In Ocean City you get hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time.”
