The Flea Market Alphabet

When wandering the aisles at Wolff's Flea Market at the Allstate Arena Rosemont, do you sometimes wonder where you are? Just look down and you will see that we have painted a helpful grid with numbered and lettered spaces. Rows are lettered A through Z, with numbers ranging from 1 to 20ish.
The east section is closer and perpendicular to the building and is called "The Single Letter Rows".
A1 is by the southeast entrance, A2 is south, etc. The "Double Letter Rows" are located in the west lot.

So how do you explain exactly where you are? Just learn the flea market alphabet! For beginners.

A-Apple
B-Boy
C-Charlie or Cat
D-Dog
E-Edward
F-Frank
G-Girl
H-Henry
I-Ida
J-Jack
K- Kangaroo
L-Larry
M-Mary
N-Nancy
O-Oscar
P-Paul
Q-Quincy
R-Robert
S-Sam
T-Thomas
U-Umbrella
V-Victor
W-Walter
X-X-ray
Y-Y
Z-Zebra

Oh yeah, if you have any questions, just look for a staff person wearing a chartreuse shirt!

VENDOR TIPS FOR WOLFF'S FLEA MARKET

Seller's Rules & Tips wolffs.com   FACEBOOK & CRAIGSLIST We encourage our vendors to post their items on social media: facebook page, Buy, Sell, Trade Group  & craigslist. These listings are FREE!  We love this concept because buyers and sellers are able to meet in a neutral location at the market (must have a selling space-no parking lot sales). This also draws new customers to the entire market and helps everyone! Many vendors have had success with social media. Customers have come from as far as Iowa to purchase their items! For more advanced posters, please "tag" your photos & posts with #wolffsfleamarket and @wolffsfleamarket. If you don't know what this means, please disregard! EARLY CLOSE DAYS Occasionally the Rosemont market may need to close early due to a stadium event. We continue to have a steady customer flow on these days because we are an "early shopper market". The majority of shoppers attend before 11am. Don...

As the day progresses, air currents from overhead planes and other weather conditions can also cause windy conditions. Occasionally we may require canopies to be taken down due to weathe...
