to provide.” Holt considers their vendors “family.” “They have become our family, and we wanted to be able to find a way to help them and also provide for their families, because not only was it a loss of income for us, but it was a loss of income for all of them.” During COVID-19, the ladies have completed other ventures, including opening a small boutique shop and restaurant in Phoenix called The Vintage Arcadia and offering an online space for their vendors. “We launched an online marketplace in April, and we have, I think, over 90 vendors on there,” Holt says. “Even though we weren’t able to all gather in person together with our vendors and with

our shoppers, it’s still been a fun way for us to kind of all be together and a fun way for our shoppers to still be able to shop from all of our amazing vendors.” While the majority of the vendors are from Arizona and California, the online marketplace features makers from around the country. As for the Holiday Pop-Up, the organizers spoke to the Scottsdale Quarter in April to plan it. The store, which has
free admission, will be open Tuesday to Sunday, allowing the 40 vendors to restock on Monday. “The inventory will be constantly changing,” Arnold says. “The vendors will be constantly restocking until it will be kind of like a new store every time that you come in, which will be really fun. “These vendors will have a storefront in a really high-end mall where most of them wouldn’t be able to afford it normally. “ One of the staple features of the markets—the photo backdrop—will make an appearance at the pop-up, along with an equally decorative storefront. “We are trying to bring the market to this pop-up shop and just make it a mini version,” Arnold says. “All of the favorite things, like the photo backdrop, music and shopping, will be there. We’re bringing a little bit of everything that people know and love about the market.” Junk in the Trunk 's The Market at Scottsdale Quarter 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. Sunday through December 27 Scottsdale Quarter, 15059 N.
