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!

Some stuff from Off White

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.
