Why it matters in Durham

For a small retailer, a downtown address can test whether foot traffic turns into customers without committing immediately to a conventional long lease. For downtown, pop-ups can reduce visible vacancies and bring variety to a block. Their temporary nature means visitors should verify whether a shop is still operating before making a special trip.
