Everett Vintage Shop Draws Crowds With 2,000-Square-Foot Nostalgia Collection

Jono Rodgers, who co-owns the newly opened Lunapop Vintage, stated that customers frequently exclaim, “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe you have that,” upon seeing items such as a quarter pencil machine from California or a giraffe wearing a wrestler’s mask. The shop serves as the newest destination in Everett for nostalgic goods.

Rodgers and his wife, Catie Rodgers, have spent years collecting vintage treasures and oddities. They previously operated a booth at Hewitt Estates & Antiques before securing a dedicated retail space. The couple described their acquisition process as a constant search, noting that they participate in auctions, estate sales, and look through back alley garages to find unique items. This hobby has now expanded into a 2,000-square-foot storefront.

The store opened in September at 4027 Rucker Ave. It is filled largely with items from 1980s and 1990s pop culture. Catie Rodgers explained the intended atmosphere, saying, “We want it to be bright and crazy and overwhelming and stimulating.” The interior features bright colors, including a yellow-orange trinket-laying chicken machine at the front and retro hats hanging from the ceiling.

Jono Rodgers noted that the store sells items from their childhood that many people forget until they see them in person. He highlighted a pencil vending machine as a personal favorite, recalling that it dispensed random NFL pencils for 25 cents. He said, “We always had these NFL pencils, and it’s been ingrained in my head since I was a kid, and so I’ve always wanted one.”

The shop has gained a following on TikTok and Instagram, with Jono Rodgers noting that “Everett’s been amazing” regarding customer reactions. The store documents new stock and deals on social media, though the couple joked that one of their three children, Eli, has not yet completed a promised grand opening video despite the shop's online popularity.

Catie Rodgers emphasized the environmental aspect of selling used goods, stating, “We live in a super disposable society, and so we source stuff that already exists. We want as small of a footprint as we can make.” The store aims to give a new life to existing toys, clothes, and decor.

Lunapop Vintage is open six days a week. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, excluding Monday. The store closes at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
