Ontario is the original, and one of the largest, Open Air Market in California, if not in the
U.S. It is our family's first location and is the one discussed in the
Maclin Story.
Established in 1936, this site was primarily a livestock auction that
still continues on Tuesdays each week. Goats, sheep, cattle and pigs are
sold. Hence, the pig stylized logo that Maclin uses to this day.
Historically, our roots were in the miscellaneous merchandise
sold outside the auction barn to the people who attended. Contents were
initially farm related: tools, jeans, eggs, tack, feed for animals, etc..
Ontario is located on the edge of the largest agricultural area in the county. Dairy farms, corn, strawberry, and other crops
are still surrounding this location. The market is just 5 minutes
from the 60 (Pomona) FRWY off of Euclid. We are located only 30 minutes
from downtown L.A. , 20 minutes from the snow capped San Gabriel
mountains, 40 minutes from nearby beaches and deserts.
Today's market location encompasses 40 acres. Spectators are
welcome to view the Tuesday livestock auction in progress. Cattle, goats, sheep,
pigs and horses are sold. Open Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday, some
vendor spaces are covered within our shopping aisles. Amenities
offered include Americana fast food familiars and local specialties. We have one of the longest full
service bars in the state. Over 500 vendors sell their merchandise
on any given market day.
Products sold include: live exotic and domestic birds, fresh cut flowers
and plants, shoes, garments for the entire family, art, accessories for
the home, barber service, carpets, pet supplies, draperies and pottery.
It is quite rare that a shopper leaves the market without finding
something of great value without the high overhead. However, the supply
and availability of some goods are ever changing. Some vendors have been
with our market for more than four decades. Some vendors come for only one
day. Truly a consistent yet ever changing market. On weekends,
entertainment is often provided for your enjoyment at the outdoor food
court. A small admission fee is charged to shoppers. Free parking.
