Knoxville Flea Market’s New Location a Huge Success

We're thrilled to announce that the first weekend at the Knoxville Flea Market’s new location at the Chilhowee Park's Jacob Building was a huge success! With over 200 vendor booths offering an array of goods, attracted crowds from across the area. Plus, with ample free parking available, attendees found it convenient to explore the treasures available.

Nearly every vendor saw record-breaking sales, it is estimated that over 10,000 shoppers visited over its three days.

Mark your calendars for the upcoming weekend of March 15th-17th, as the Knoxville Flea Market promises to bring even more excitement and unique finds to our community. Don't miss out on the fun!

On The Spot Carpet Cleaning - Premier Carpet and Upholstery Care

In the vibrant communities of Knox, Blount, and Sevier Counties, On The Spot Carpet Cleaning stands as a testament to quality, efficiency, and local dedication in carpet and upholstery care. Founded 5 years this family-owned business has quickly become a household name for its exceptional cleaning services.

Behind On The Spot Carpet Cleaning is Dean Peal, a seasoned expert in the carpet cleaning industry, along with his wife, Leslie, and son, Austin. Driven by a passion for maintaining clean and healthy living environments, Dean established the company to offer top-notch cleaning services using the hot-water extraction method, known for its effectiveness and environmental friendliness.

What Makes On The Spot Carpet Cleaning Stand Out:

• Cleaning Method: Utilizing hot-water extraction, also known as steam cleaning, ensures a thorough deep clean

• Fast Drying Time: State-of-the-art cleaning process guarantees a fast drying time of 2-4 hours, reducing inconvenience for customers

• Comprehensive Services: Catering to both residential and commercial clients, On The Spot Carpet Cleaning offers a wide range of services, including tile and grout cleaning, to meet all your cleaning needs

Dean and his family are not only committed to providing exceptional service but are also deeply invested in the community's well-being. While the specifics of their community involvement remain a key aspect of their business philosophy, they continue to explore ways to engage and give back to the area they call home.

On The Spot Carpet Cleaning is on the brink of exciting developments, including potential events, sales, product launches, or expansions designed to even further improve the customer experience and extend their service reach. Details on these upcoming initiatives will be shared with the community, promising to bring new opportunities for residents and businesses in Knoxville and surrounding counties to enjoy cleaner, fresher living and working environments.
