Drakes Shades (formerly known as Drake's Sunglass Superstore) began in 2002 in Ybor City (the historic district of Tampa Florida) at Centro Ybor, a 2 block 2 story mall with restaurants, retail shops, a 16-picture movie theatre, a comedy club and 8 retail merchanding units of which we were one. 

We had a great run for 3 years but the management changed hands and we ended up being the only RMU left. When negotiations stalled, we decided to move on to the local flea markets. Currently, we are in Northeastern Ohio at 3 wonderful fleas: Rogers Auction and Flea Market on Fridays only ( a 250 acre, 50 year old market with 2000+ vendors). We are on the front row across from Chuck's Gyros Resturant in spaces 191-193, where we have been for 6 years.

That said, you can find us at the Hartville Marketplace on Saturdays in Hartville, Ohio, near Akron. On Sundays, we are up in Andover at the Pymatuning Drive-Inn Flea Market, near the campgrounds. Come and see us and the markets and choose from our best-quality sunshades and sunhats. We will treat you right. And you can't make it to our locations, shop our online store, where you will find our premium products.
