SIDESHOW: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
HOW CAN I APPLY
Hop back to the main page, and click on the application button at the bottom left. We take applications on a rolling basis.
WHAT SORT OF THINGS ARE A GOOD FIT?
We hate limiting creativity. If it’s got a good plan, it seems like fun or a great business, and it’s a good fit for downtown? Then we’re willing to talk about it.
We can’t accept any popups that are religiously or politically affiliated.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
We’re keeping this one simple, because the whole point is to give you a chance to try something and learn from your time operating the popup.
We charge 10 percent of any gross revenue while you are operating in the space. This means we want you to be successful too, and it also means you can factor into your plan exactly how much it’s going to cost. Oh – and that 10 percent is everything – rent, utilities, internet and we’ll even provide the toilet paper.
If you’re operating a community project, we can talk about alternative models if your idea is approved.
WHAT IS MY JOB?
You’re responsible for managing and staffing your popup during your approved period. You’re also responsible for all setup and takedown at the beginning and end of your period, including providing any furnishings or equipment you need to operate your concept.
You’re also responsible for marketing to drive customers to your space and development of any events as part of your popup. (We are happy to work with you to cross promote though)
WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS?
You should have a clear plan we can review when we meet before your opening. How you will use the space, your planned layout with any equipment or furnishings shown, and a plan to promote your business during your time.
We will meet with before any kick-off to go over any items and make sure we’re all facing the same direction before you launch.
