Pop-up shops are short-term spaces for your business to literally ‘pop up’ in. These are ideal for community and regional activation events, product launches, to bring an ecommerce business into physical proximity of its customer base, and to bring brand awareness to a region or area you may not have a permanent storefront in. Standard retail lease is intended to be medium-to-long term lease, allowing you and your business to put down roots and become a part of the bustling highstreet landscape!
Any business size can benefit from pop up shop exposure, from independent boutiques and storefronts to internationally recognised brands. For independent businesses and smaller retailers, they’re a great opportunity to get your brand name out there and to engage potential customers and footfall who may not already be aware of you. For established brands, they’re an extra step of community activation, inviting footfall to engage with your brand in a way they previously haven’t before. This makes pop-up spaces ideal for campaign activation events or PR-related goals. Whatever business size you are, large or small or a sole trader, we would love to speak to you.
This entails leasing a customer-facing space where you can set up as a food and beverage service provider and/or retailer; for example, a space intended for use for a cafe or canteen. Many of our office parks and city centre buildings have cafes, bars, and snack stations completely independent of the businesses and coworking spaces there, so this is a great chance to bring good coffee and good customer service to a ready-made customer base.
Please contact the Bruntwood team to discuss your interest and we’ll gladly match you up with the space you’re looking for. We’ll gauge the amount of square footage for your floor plate you’ll need, additional functionality or amenities, your target market or customer base, and your budget and length of stay to make sure we find a good space for your business.
Of course you can, our retail spaces and units are available for businesses to rent provided that both our team and yours think we’re a good fit.
