The Bazaar del Mundo Shops: The Mercado
Mar 20th
The Bazaar del Mundo in Old Town, San Diego is a collection of nine very unique shops. The founder, and owner of Bazaar del Mundo has poured 40 years of her life into providing San Diegans and visitors from all over the world with some of the most unique and beautiful items you will find anywhere. And we mean anywhere.
Over the coming weeks we’ll be providing you an introduction to each of the Bazaar del Mundo shops. For some it will be a first time introduction; for others it will be a trip down memory lane. Either way, a visit to our shops will leave you with a glow and a desire to come back as soon as possible.
Here is an introduction to The Mercado provided by founder and owner Diane Powers in her own words:
“The Mercado…this store is also known as Design Center Inc. which was my first business that I owned and actually worked there when I was going to college before I bought it. It started as an interior design business , which is how I started.
“Late in the 6o’s when I bought the business I began specializing in designing commercial projects such as hospitals, doctors offices, banks and restaurants. During this time I was also traveling a lot to various parts of Mexico and Guatemala, thus my love evolved for those areas as well as my appreciation of the cultures. When the opportunity presented itself to develop the old Casa de Pico Motel in Old Town I used the inspirations I had been gathering in Mexico and the rest is history.
“Anyway, after I opened in Old Town I moved the Design Center, which was originally on 5th Ave. in San Diego to the Old Town location and also opened a retail shop for it, The Mercado, as well as several other retail shops. We still do interior design and our manager Janet works in the shop, as well as works with clients in their homes. The Mercado specializes in home decor and accessories, folk art, collectibles and textiles, of which many are imported from Mexico and Guatemala. An unusual collection of Tiffany type lamps, wall art, and mirrors from Mexico are also found in this exciting shop, as well as , colorful Pendleton blankets in the beautiful native American designs.”
Bazaar del Mundo and The Mercado, as well as the other eight shops, are located at 4133 Taylor St. in Old Town. You can reach our manager of The Mercado, Janet, and her staff at 619-296-3161.
