Can someone explain what a Pop Up Store even is? Are they like kiosks or something? And why does this one seem to be associated with a bunch of brands?

Disclaimer: I rarely shop and tend to order stuff online. Not a mall rat.

I haven't been to one myself, but I think there will be a clothing store that arranges for GN'R themed merchandise.

Generally, I think the prices are high though.

It is a temporary store that run for a pre-set period of time. There are also pop-up restaurants that serve food only for a day but are still not kiosks as such. The food is real and restaurant quality but it is only for a day.

The idea is, of course, marketing and selling stuff to people who don't have access to a permanent shop or restaurant.

Clever and fun idea but it also needs to be profitable.

Yeah just substitute 'pop-up' for 'temporary'.

It's one of those millennial terms some Einstein came up with. Like the word 'artisan', which is used to describe pretty much anything home made!

I don't get it, so GN'R inspired shirts include actual shirts they wore in the early 90's - designed by somebody else but giving a new credit to Off White?

Seems that way. Maybe they bought the designs?

I don't get a lot of this stuff! Whole lotta pissing about.
