Colorado Springs, Colo. – The Downtown Colorado Springs Holiday Pop-Up Shop program is returning for the 2021 holiday season with three new retail shops that are now open starting Monday, Nov. 1 until Friday, Dec. 31.
The intention behind the program, launched in 2014, is to fill vacant storefronts during the holiday season and give new business owners a chance to test out their business model. Reduced rent and short-term leases are offered to the businesses to allow them this form of holiday trial-business run.
Over 14 businesses have participated in the program, leading to some longer-term leases from popular Downtown businesses like Crafted Colorado Handmake Market, Eclectic Co., The Local Honey Co., Rocky Mountain Soap Market and Story Coffee.
This year, three Pop-Up Shops will be open through December 2021:
Mountain Standard Goods–226 N. Tejon St. (opening November 1)–sustainably produced men’s apparel, vintage furniture, home goods and gifts. Instagram: @mst_goods
Maggie M Boutique–7 S. Tejon St. (opening November 1)–comfortable, stylish and functional clothing for baby and mom, home décor and accessories, bath and body products. Website: www.shopmaggiem.com
Good Eye–111 E. Pikes Peak Ave. (opening November 2)–sustainably and ethically produced goods, vintage women’s clothing, jewelry and accessories. Website: www.goodeyeshop.com
