Thanks to its flourishing economy and strong entrepreneurial spirit, Houston is an exceptional city for pop up businesses. Whether you're launching a new product or simply looking to test the waters in a promising new market, these versatile storefronts offer boundless possibilities. At their core, pop up retail spaces are temporary stores that “pop up” for a limited time, allowing business owners to test out a retail concept without committing to a long-term lease. Downtown Houston in particular is a prime spot for a pop up shop. You’ll have access to lots of foot traffic from office workers on their lunch breaks or after work, as well as visitors to attractions like Discovery Green park, the Downtown Aquarium, and Minute Maid Park. Consider reserving pop up retail spaces in historic buildings — many venues have undergone renovations, and the unique architecture and ambiance add extra appeal. In addition, some
coworking spaces rent out their event or lounge areas for pop ups, which can be great for one-day pop ups.
