Starting a Pop-Up Shop with A PODS Container
Discover why PODS containers are an ideal solution for retail businesses and restaurants opening mobile pop-up shops to expand into new market opportunities.
Pop-Up Shops with PODS Shipping Containers
A Flexible Solution for Retailers
Take your merchandise and sell it where your customers gather with a mobile pop-up shop in a PODS storage container. Pop-up retail stores are perfect for e-commerce retailers interested in getting their products physically in front of people for a low overhead cost, and brick-and-mortar retailers seeking to connect with new customers in other areas.
Space for Short-Term Vendors
A pop-up container rental provides the freedom to create a unique experience on a temporary basis, such as at a live event or a holiday market. Brands can generate buzz for a product launch, reach seasonal shoppers, or gauge the responsiveness of an untapped audience by establishing a pop-up shop or a pop-up restaurant at a non-permanent location.
PODS Containers Keep Merchandise Secure
Protect Your Valuable Inventory On-Site
You can have peace of mind that your merchandise will be secure when left overnight by using a PODS storage container as a retail pop-up store.

Rain or shine, your products will stay protected when your pop-up shop is in a PODS container. Our storage containers are steel-framed and designed to keep merchandise protected from elements both inside and out.
Customize Your Pop-Up Store to Your Needs
Operate on a Small Budget
