FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - Over 80 pop-up vendors filled the Manchester Mall on Saturday thanks to a couple of "bad girls" with a vision for a pop-up market. The Bad Girls Market brought over 80 vendors to the Manchester Mall for the clown-themed pop-up vendor event. 7-mile bike, walking trail progresses toward completion in Fresno "When we started this we never thought about making it big," Market Organizer Sofia Sanchez said. "Now we have over 80 people in here and feel bad because we want to have more but we can't." Sanchez says before working as a vendor she worked at the Manchester Mall when she was a teenager. "I worked here for two or three years, and I've always seen this mall here super dead." Sanchez says she had the idea for the Bad Girls Market years before actually starting it. The idea gained traction when she started selling her goods as a vendor at the Mammoth Mall on Fulton Street in Downtown Fresno. Sanchez says it was when she started working at the Bad Kids Club collective at the Mammoth Mall that she met Liz Hernandez and her idea began taking form. "She told me her idea," Hernandez said. "We had just started selling stuff at a shop called the Bad Kids Club with the other organizers, and they really pushed us."

Bad Kids Club co-owner Fabio Linares says he had so much faith in Sanchez's vision for a female-centric market that he felt he had to push the girls out of their comfort zone. "For me it was like, this is a good idea. I get it, you're probably scared or unsure, but from my perspective, it's a great idea," Fabio said. "There was a lot of talk about how a lot of markets are male-oriented - by having a girl market you're really saying, 'hey attention all girls'." The organizers all say the goal of the market was simple from the start: create a safe space for female vendors to grow their businesses and network with one another to create a small community. It turns out a lot of people liked the concept. "We can all eat," Sanchez said. "So I feel like at the end of the day if you have people that are understanding of that and the fact that we can all make money and prosper, then you have a really good foundation."

For more information on the market, Sanchez and Hernandez say they post regularly on social media.
