Pop-up shops are all the rage in Australia, with products ranging from

Indian textiles to hamburgers to wedding photographers to perfumed soaps. 

They are very sensible, offering companies a chance to test-market their 

wares without risking a fortune in overhead.

“Pop-ups are great for everyone,” says Ben Tremellen, Colliers International 

director of retail leasing Victoria. “It’s good for retail in terms of activating 

empty spaces, so there are no holes or unattended spaces in streets – 

there’s an average 20 per cent pop-ups on high streets now in both 

Sydney and Melbourne – and it’s good for landlords 

who can get revenue while they’re negotiating for a long-term tenant."
