Pop Up Shops and Pop up Malls


           Typically, when a urban street wear apparel brand is starting up or even recently, establish couture brands, still trying to keep it street and capture the essence of its the grassroots, they proceed to open up a pop up shop. Hoping to make a name for themselves; add a little hype to their growing brand, capture some foot traffic, get rid of surplus inventory all to generate income. The concept of a pop up shop is pretty cool if you ask me because if you do not know by now I am sale kind of guy.  A pop up shop is essentially clever gorilla marketing at is best.  However, a pop up mall? That is the best thing since slice bread for a street wear sale connoisseur such as myself.
