PINELLAS PARK, Fla. – A developer is looking to revive one of Pinellas County’s largest vacant properties: The former Wagon Wheel flea market site off of Park Boulevard.

Wagon Wheel flea market property
The backstory:
The Wagon Wheel flea market was a popular destination for more than 55 years, offering everything from fresh produce and clothing to live music and dancing. The market temporarily closed in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, but its owners ultimately decided not to reopen, closing it permanently by June of that year.
Belleair Development Group, which owns several commercial properties in Pinellas Park, recently went under contract to purchase the site.
