Pop-up Shop Success Continues, Enhances Holiday Shopping Downtown

PORTLAND, Ore. – Two more downtown pop-up shops will be joining ‘Workroom 719’ and ‘Flurry’ in the coming week. ‘Egg Press’ and ‘By Oregon’ will continue the pop-up shop success and activate vacant retail spaces for enhanced downtown holiday shopping.

All the pop-up shops provide unique gift options and some include active elements such as artists designing right in the space. ‘Egg Press’ specializes in handcrafted greeting cards and will provide active elements such as Letter Writing Happy Hour, screen printing, and printing press demonstrations. ‘By Oregon’ is a designer boutique and gallery showcasing more than 15 Portland artists and designers, including clothing, jewelry and photography.

The pop-up shops are free to the artists, thanks to a public-private partnership that includes the City of Portland, Portland Development Commission, Downtown Retail Advocate, Portland Business Alliance, Downtown Marketing Initiative, Downtown Development Company, Tad Savinar and Vizwerks. The partners came together to enhance the signature retail district along Yamhill and Morrison for the holiday season by providing unique, local gift items.
