Open 365 days a year, the Roadium’s 15 acres of shopping offer new and used merchandise from clothes and shoes to spools of thread and fishing rods. Over 500 vendors sell their wares on a daily basis, rain or shine from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m.
The vendors don’t stop at just clothes and shoes. If you’re looking for any kind of makeup at discounted prices, or you feel the need for a gun holster or doll house – you can find those things at the swap meet alongside pots, pans, candlesticks and other household appliances.
Be sure to keep your wits about you and don’t get too turned around and miss the best part – the food vendor stands. They have some of the best tacos in the area, and amazing smoothies. If you are surrounded by stalls and your tummy starts to grumble, just follow your nose to the best kept secret in the South Bay.
