The Distillery Historic District has announced its initial roster of vendors for its pop-up containers.
Back in March, Retail Insider created a photo tour of the area which included sharing new retailers and hinting towards a number of announcements that would be made over the coming months. In addition to Peace Collective signing a lease to open a new flagship store, Grace Loves Lace announced that it would be opening a showroom on site.
In that article, the Distillery provided information on a pop-up initiative which would be coming to fruition in the summer.
With delays due to the pandemic, the initial list of pop-up container retailers has been released and we are able to provide an exclusive sneak-peek into the roster.
- YK Marketta – Container #1 (Open Now)
- Tartistry – Container #2 (Open Now)
- Liberty Clothing – Container #3 (Opening Soon)
- Brika Inc. – Container #4 (Opening August 1st)
- Roots Canada – Container #5 & #6 (Opening July 30th).
