LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — After more than a month of being closed, a local swap meet announced it will reopen its doors on Friday, Aug. 1.
Broadacres Marketplace closed its doors in June amid immigration concerns, leaving many of the local vendors and small business owners who operated out of there struggling to make ends meet.
Yovana Alonso, the general manager of Broadacres, sent Channel 13 this statement:
"At this time, we are focused on final preparations for our reopening on Aug. 1 and ensuring that our vendors, employees, and community partners are ready to welcome families back to Broadacres Marketplace.
We appreciate the interest from the press and will have more to share on opening weekend. For now, we encourage you to speak directly with our vendors and community members—they are the heart of Broadacres and the reason this reopening matters so deeply."
