Greenway’s Melrose Trading Post is a staunch supporter of its local community. Working in tandem with Fairfax High School administration, teachers and parents, Greenway Co-Artistic Directors, Whitney Weston and Pierson Blaetz, envisioned the Trading Post as a means for the students to make a significant contribution to their own success through raising money for school programs and increasing confidence and self-esteem.
Each week is sponsored by a school club or student organization, which has petitioned The Melrose Trading Post for the opportunity to earn money for activities and purchases not provided for in the school budget. Under the supervision of a core staff of adults, students from that week’s sponsoring club man the gates themselves, working a full day at the market.
Recognized nationally for its multicultural atmosphere and the eclectic nature of both the bargains and its bargain hunters, The Melrose Trading Post has been featured in "Best of L.A." issue of such publications as Vogue , Sunset Magazine , Jane , Country Home , GQ and Los Angeles Magazine.
Hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm (rain or shine) on Sundays.
