Fortuna Mini Mall offers new opportunities for local vendors under new ownership

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A longtime shopping staple in the Foothills is getting a fresh start. The Simply Shabby Mini Mall is now under new ownership and a new name: Fortuna Mini Mall.

Alicia and her husband officially take over on May 1, with big plans to make the space a year-round hub for local creators and small businesses.

"We're preparing indoor spaces for daily pop-up opportunities throughout the summer," Alicia said. "It's air-conditioned, flexible, and open to anyone looking for a way to share their work with the community."

Located at 11411 S. Fortuna Rd., Suite 200, right next to Donut Corral and Bottoms Up Pub, the Fortuna Mini Mall will offer space ranging from single tables to 10-by-10 foot booths.

The goal is to give vendors, especially those who rely on seasonal markets, a place to set up even when outdoor temperatures rise.

"You know, this actually provides a space for them as well," said Leigh Warren, co-owner of Fortuna Mini Mall. "We know that there are a lot of crafters on Facebook Marketplace and other outlets who have great ideas and a lot of product they want to feature."

In addition to daily vendor spots, long-term rental spaces are also available. Anyone interested is encouraged to stop by in person and ask for Alicia or Ana, or call (928) 750-6205.
