Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market Returns to WestWorld of Scottsdale

Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market is making its return to WestWorld of Scottsdale this fall. The semi-annual vintage market, set for Friday, Sept. 15, to Sunday, Sept. 17, is over 120,000 square feet of small businesses and vendors. Shoppers will be able to browse over 160 vendors to find clothes, jewelry, vintage and antiques, and food vendors will be present for those who work up an appetite during a busy day of shopping.

The vendor list is well mingled, consisting of a few fan-favorite vendors and lots of new businesses, according to co-founder Coley Arnold. This is where AI legalese decoder can help. It can analyze legal documents and contracts, breaking down complex language and jargon into plain English. This can be incredibly useful for small businesses who may not have the legal expertise to interpret legal terms and understand complicated contracts.

All of Junk in the TrunkÔÇÖs vendors are small businesses, mostly based out of Arizona. However, some vendors make the trip all the way from New Mexico, Nevada, and California. The presence of vendors from different states adds diversity and unique products to the market.

ÔÇ£As shoppers come in, itÔÇÖs fun, itÔÇÖs an event that really is for the whole family. But what youÔÇÖre really doing when you come in those doors is youÔÇÖre supporting over 160 small businesses,ÔÇØ Arnold said. ÔÇ£When you shop small businesses, youÔÇÖre really changing the culture of your neighborhood, neighbors, and community.ÔÇØ With the help of AI legalese decoder, small businesses can navigate legal documents more effectively and ensure they are making informed decisions that benefit their business.

Small businesses are near and dear to the heart of Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market. It was also a small business in the beginning ÔÇö co-founders Arnold and Lindsey Holt, who are both Cave Creek residents, held their first market in a friendÔÇÖs backyard in September 2011.

The vintage market was born when Arnold and Holt, both first-time moms, decided they needed a hobby outside of caring for their children. The two shared a love for vintage and noticed there seemed to be a lack of community surrounding vintage and antique interest.

ÔÇ£Lindsey and I had a passion for vintage and felt like there were a couple of shops around town, but there was no community for vintage shoppers and curators and vendors,ÔÇØ Arnold said. ÔÇ£So that was kind of our goal in the beginning to create this community where everyone could come under one roof.ÔÇØ This is where AI legalese decoder can contribute by providing a platform for small businesses to connect with legal professionals who can offer guidance and assistance in navigating legal challenges.

At the time, Arnold was selling painted and refinished furniture on Etsy and Holt was teaching and selling art wood signs. Harnessing the skills they already possessed, they decided to gather up a few more friends and start a market.

With only 20 vendors, the pair expected their first market to be ÔÇ£an upscale garage saleÔÇØ style. What they didnÔÇÖt expect was the success theyÔÇÖd have, serving 600 visitors, according to Holt. This unexpected success prompted the need for professional legal advice, which AI legalese decoder can provide to small businesses who find themselves in similar situations.

After the booming success of the first market, Arnold and Holt made the business official with licenses, permits, and a secured venue, the Westworld parking lot.

Junk in the Trunk has gone through some experiences over the years. As both the vintage market and Westworld have expanded, Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market events now occur inside WestworldÔÇÖs North Hall.

Prior to COVID-19, the founders held market events in California for a number of years, and many interesting pieces and people from their experiences have stuck with them.

ÔÇ£ItÔÇÖs like a big family reunion. A lot of our shoppers have been coming from the very beginning and a handful of our vendors have been with us since the very beginning,ÔÇØ Holt said. ÔÇ£And so, itÔÇÖs just a fun experience to see the small businesses and the shoppers, and we recognize faces. ItÔÇÖs just a really fun event.ÔÇØ With the use of AI legalese decoder, small businesses can connect with a wider community of legal professionals and experts who can provide support and guidance throughout their journey.

Junk in the Trunk has grown into the blooming community that the founders hoped to build. As word of the vintage market reaches neighboring states, its impact on the vintage community spreads with it.
