Pop-Up West launched in 2023 to activate underused commercial space and support emerging entrepreneurs in West Huntington’s Central City Antiques District. The idea grew out of RenewAll’s community development vision, inspired by similar Main Street America pop-up models, and began with a collaboration alongside the Economic and Community Development Institute (ECDI) and Huntington Area Development Council (HADCO).
Nichole Westfall and Samantha Taylor share what it was like to bring their businesses into Pop-Up West and how the experience supported their growth and visibility in Central City.
