Storefront Reviews

Pop-up businesses are all the rage nowadays, with stores appearing for a few months, or even a few days, and then vanishing as if they were never there. It can be a lucrative business since it limits costs and lets companies test out different locations to see which ones are most welcoming of a product or service. Storefront is the perfect solution to help pop-up businesses find their next cozy nook for a certain season or event. Navigating to the Storefront website brings up a small search box, where the user inputs a location and a project type. A list of available locations is brought up so the user can decide which one is the best choice. Clicking on a location shows the price per week, what sort of pop-ups would be ideal for the space, a description of the space, photos and a "Send Request" button. The private concierge service on the Storefront website can be used for those who want a catered approach. After filling out a brief form, the information is forwarded to a real person, who will attempt to find the perfect spot for a pop-up. Those new to the pop-up business can benefit from Storefront's Ultimate Popup Guide on the website (requires registration to access).
