Portsmouth Pop Up
The Portsmouth Pop Up shop scheme enables local entrepreneurs and small businesses to trade in a high street location without the commitment or cost of a longer-term lease. As part of the scheme, businesses can apply to rent the pop- up shop in Cascades, in Portsmouth’s city centre for a minimum of 13 weeks giving them a chance to engage with customers and launch products and services.
The Portsmouth Pop Up shop scheme is a partnership between the council, Cascades and Flude. It is located inside Cascades and opened on 21 February 2024. The latest Pop Up business is JAWNS, who sell a bold mix of premium trainers and urban fashion.
