Established Pop-Up Retail Business with Strong Vendor Network
Business Description
This well-established pop-up retail company has been operating for close to 20 years, with a strong presence across Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. The business specializes in setting up mobile boutique events inside hospitals, assisted living facilities, office complexes, and hotels. These events offer a unique shopping experience for employees and guests, while also helping to raise funds for each location’s charity of choice. Over nearly two decades, the company has built an impressive database of more than 8,000 loyal customers who consistently attend and look forward to these events, making it a truly relationship-driven business with proven repeat engagement.
The company offers more than 1,200 unique, first-quality products for women, men, and children—ranging from costume jewelry, gadgets, licensed sports merchandise, apparel, and leather goods to eyewear, seasonal items, toys, baby products, and accessories. Most merchandise is sold at a flat $7 price point, providing a strong value proposition that consistently draws enthusiastic crowds. Margins typically range from 35% to 60%, ensuring healthy profitability. Events typically run for 2–3 days and are held multiple times per year with each client, usually 2–6 times annually depending on the location.
What sets this business apart is not only its long-standing vendor relationships with national suppliers who provide top-tier merchandise but also its established operational model that is both flexible and scalable. The atmosphere at each event is lively and fun, with many attendees describing the experience as a highlight of their workweek. The combination of charitable giving, unbeatable pricing, and a loyal, built-in customer base makes this a highly attractive opportunity for a buyer seeking a turnkey operation with real growth potential and community impact.
