The Telegraph newspaper has a section on retail businesses in the UK - and I found it fascinating that there is a prediction that a third of new UK start-ups will be pop-up shops. The high street trading environment used to be so stable that there were few, if any, opportunities to get a short-term lease, but the challenging trading conditions are obviously changing that.

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.
