Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing information in this section is based on proprietary data from bookings made on Peerspace from 2016 to 2025.
How much does a pop up retail space cost to hire?
Pop up retail spaces average £69 per hour to rent, but it’s easy to spend less or more depending on what you’re looking for. For a space on the smaller side, expect to spend closer to £56, whereas larger venues run about £100 per hour.
How to host a pop-up shop
Hosting a pop-up shop is a great way for brands to create new opportunities for themselves without investing heavily in a brick and mortar location. These are a type of "temporary retail" installation that allows you to secure a physical space with only a short-term commitment, and they're great for creating some buzz. First, research what licenses, permits, or insurance may be required at your local level, if any. If you're trying to start your own pop-up shop, investigate what pop-up venue options are available in your area. The creative, attention-grabbing pop-up location options are endless.
How long does it take to plan a pop-up shop?
To launch a pop-up shop properly, allow for 2 to 3 months of prep time. The primary reason for this is to maximize public relations and marketing opportunities. Put together a press release for your pop-up, and reach out to local news outlets and popular local social media accounts. If any decide to feature your pop-up shop, they'll have sufficient time to prepare and run their content.
How to find pop-up shop space
Start your pop-up shop space search right here with Peerspace. As the leading short-term venue rental platform, we keep listings of all the most impactful and alluring pop-up shop locations in your area. If you don't find a good fit, search your local area for vacant storefronts. Sometimes, if you contact the building owner or connected commercial real estate agency, you'll be able to work out a short-term lease. Finally, you can consider asking to set up within another, larger store—this is called a "pop-in," and it has the added advantage of allowing you to benefit from the host store's traffic.
How much should you charge vendors at pop-up shops?
You can charge pop-up shop vendors however you'd like, but it's common to charge an hourly fee based on the size of the pop-up venue, which often ranges anywhere between $50 to $200 per hour. Some pop-up hosts also charge a small daily reservation fee. Ideally, you should look for a fair rate that generates enough income to be worth your while but is affordable enough that your pop-up vendors can still turn a decent profit—this will keep them coming back.
