Meet the Owner of a Local Flea Market Business

Linton Rhodes is the owner of This and That Flea Market, a Winder business that has been open just three months.

Patch: How did you get into the business?

Rhodes: I been in the business about seven years – about six years. I started just going to J&J down there, the flea market, and one thing led to another I guess.

Patch: Do you have any sort of secret to success?

Rhodes: Not really. We try to keep a lot of different stuff. (We’ve got) some of everything, really — all kinds of stuff. We’ll sell anything, that’s why we call it This and That.

Patch: What is a typical day on the job like?

Rhodes: I sit here watching TV and hope a customer comes in to buy something (laughter). Move it in and move it out.

Patch: What is your favorite part about your job?

Rhodes: Making money.

Patch: What is your least favorite part about your job?

Rhodes: Sitting here not making money (laughter). No. I like to meet people and different people, especially when I go to the (J&J) Flea Market. I don’t know, it’s just something to do sometimes. I don’t just sit here in front of the TV all the time. I go out and look for stuff — take it in and take it out.

This and That Flea Market. 243 E. May St., Winder. 678-900-1454.
