Pop-up stores are temporary businesses that appear out of nowhere and disappear just as quickly. During this time, they provide many opportunities such as reviving inner cities and for online merchants to try out stationary stores. Sometimes, they manage to prove themselves and settle down where they set up. Other times, they consciously travel across the country in an effort to draw attention to new products and campaigns using the temptation of product "scarcity". Both start-ups and large chains open pop-up stores and one thing is clear: we are seeing more and more of them, even if not always with the claim to stay.
