A visit to a flea market in Mexico by D. C. Bryson and Richard McClellion sparked the idea to create the Anderson Jockey Lot and Farmers' Market. D.C. decided that he would build a flea market, but his flea market would have plenty of parking and clean restrooms. He succeeded on both counts. The Jockey Lot opened in November 1974 on 65 acres right of Hwy 29 between Anderson and Greenville SC and has grown ever since.
