From pop-up potential to long-term incubation, we are interested in furthering the ongoing success of downtown Minneapolis. To support this long view, several plans are under way to help businesses remain in their pop-up space and eventually move into long-term retail.
Diverse businesses can generate greater interest, excitement and traffic by:
- Choosing to thrive in a sensational pop-up
- Mobilizing their brand for a few months or a few months longer
- Finding other audiences with other locations
- Increasing brand awareness through mpls downtown council marketing
