La Salle Avenue hosts a loose string of antique shops, but Junque in the Trunk at 910 La Salle Ave stands out by sheer scale. Where many of its neighbours occupy compact storefronts, this store commands a larger retail footprint. That extra space changes the experience immediately. You walk in and the floor opens up, giving the collection room to breathe rather than pile up.
The inventory covers furniture, home décor and decorative objects drawn from multiple eras. Nothing feels randomly assembled. Displays are arranged with enough care that first-time visitors can scan a section methodically, while regular browsers can slow down and let things surface at their own pace. The difference between a shop that curates and one that simply accumulates is obvious within a few minutes here.
Candour is rarer in the antique trade than it ought to be. Ask the staff about a specific piece or period and they engage directly. If they think another Waco shop is better placed to help with a particular search, they will say so. That honesty earns trust quickly and gives the place a reputation that repeat visitors notice.
One of the more practical services the store offers is restoration and redecoration work on antique and vintage pieces. If something has good bones but a rough finish, the team can bring it back to usable condition. This reflects a design sensibility that runs through the whole shop — a genuine interest in how older objects can work in modern spaces, not just sit behind glass. The store also runs an online shop with category filtering across home goods and furniture, which extends browsing well beyond walk-in visits.
The store opens Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00, and on Sunday from 13:00 to 17:00. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Sunday afternoons make for a particularly unhurried visit. Junque in the Trunk works well as a starting point for a full day on La Salle Avenue — Waco has built a genuine reputation among Texas antique shoppers, and this store gives that reputation a solid anchor.
Reaching the store by public transport is straightforward. The La Salle Circle Shuttle stops at the Shops / Dining stop approximately 25 metres from the entrance, with a second stop serving the same shuttle line at CEN-TEX Hispanic Chamber of Commerce roughly 46 metres away. Both stops make the store easy to reach without a car.
Junque in the Trunk suits furniture hunters, décor collectors and casual browsers equally well. Its combination of generous floor space, considered displays, a knowledgeable team and an active restoration offering makes it one of the more complete antique destinations in central Texas.
