I wonder if that is creating a different kind of opportunity for owners of commercial property - malls, etc, start to suffer when there isn't enough footfall so filling empty spaces, even for a short time, makes sense.
Hi Margaret,

Thanks - that was an interesting article!

I don't know much about "pop-ups"... But I do know that fitting out a retail store can be very expensive. From the retailer's point of view, starting out as a "pop-up" would seem to make a lot of sense... It's a way to "test" the market, without the full-blown expense of a full-blown retail store...!

It could also be a good way to "test" several locations less expensively... Then, once you get the results from several locations, you could set up a proper retail store in the location where you achieved the best sales...

There's a lot to be said for testing...

Best wishes,

Dien
