Curating beautiful hard-to-find vintage and antique items is a passion that I look forward to sharing with the public. I&#8217;m also open to working one on one with customers who are seeking specific vintage items.\u00a0 Every month I plan to refresh the store. Variety not only excites customers, but it also highlights my creative passion and the exclusive items I collect year-round. I will be acquiring more vintage and antiques items. I am very excited to see what the next year brings&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Aaliyah-Riley-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Aaliyah-Riley-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Aaliyah-Riley-150x150@2x.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Aaliyah-Riley-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Aaliyah-Riley-300x300@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Store Location:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1\">Wicked Peach Vintage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1\">112 W 2nd St<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1\">Casa Grande, AZ 85122&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1\">602-770-7492<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1\">wickedpeachvintage@gmail.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1\">Facebook: Wicked Peach Vintage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:1\">IG: wicked_ peach_vintage&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aaliyah Riley-Bushong, Owner of Wicked Peach Vintage&nbsp; Offers Her Best Advice for Entrepreneurs: &#8220;Do not listen, I repeat do not listen to the discouraging whispers of others or feed into<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3569,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3567"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3567"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3567\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3573,"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3567\/revisions\/3573"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/phoenix.ampsmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
