Downtown Next Door, Rochester, MN
This initiative is called Downtown Next Door and was put together by Rochester Downtown Alliance and Destination Medical Center.
It not only gives us cool, new places to shop downtown, but it also provides these local entrepreneurs a unique opportunity:
1. They can show off their work and business to more potential customers.
2. They get a spot in downtown Rochester without committing to a long-term lease. It's like a trial run.
3. They have the opportunity to turn the pop-up shop into a long-term brick-and-mortar location.
What a great idea!
Pop-Up Shops in Downtown Rochester, MN
I have to take a peek downtown myself sometime, but from what I can see online, there's one shop that's for sure open in the four available storefronts.
The four storefronts are located at:
325 South Broadway
328 South Broadway
324 South Broadway
320 South Broadway
Rochester Downtown Alliance mentions that more storefronts may be added to this program in the future.
New Clothing Boutique, Downtown Rochester, MN
Right now, the one spot that I know is occupied at the moment is at 324 South Broadway, inside Fagan Studios.
The shop is a boutique called Sal Terrae Boutique. It's owned by a mom and her two daughters, and they sell super cute clothes in sizes up to 3x. Their hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 11 AM - 7 PM. I definitely want to check them out sometime!
Hopefully we'll hear about more pop-up shops in downtown, this is awesome!
