Iron Heart Pop Up Store in Cologne

[Guest]

Hamburg is nice…

[Giles]

In Cologne we have everything that makes it work.

A retailer who is excited about Iron Heart
A retailer who has an empty shop and staff to man the shop
A retailer who approached me with the idea
A shop just off the main shopping street
A town that is really nicely positioned

It's Cologne…..

Only a 2 hour drive from my hometown Antwerp, tempting…

What does "Pop-Up store" mean (sorry, not my first language) - just a new store or like a concept store exclusive to IH?

[FOXY]

Pop Up usually means what Giles outlined in his first post: open until December, not intended as a permanent, regular store.

[Giles]

Foxy is correct.  Will just be Iron Heart.  Boy have we shipped a shit load this week.  Thanks @Winchy and @Sam.  Maybe 400 garments with boots and other stuff to follow…..

[Winchy]

18 boxes in total! It's a really great selection from the current range too with plenty of extant classics along with some brand new goodies.

@Winchy:

plenty of extant classics

That makes me want to go there. Thanks for the explanation!

Maybe…will be away every weekend from now till end of novmeber, so it'll be hard to do.

Sucks.
Want me to ship the Schmidt shirt? Sounds like a handover is impossible in the near future.

Great idea with the 'store' - but a running time of only circa 10 weeks?
Very short for all this effort (and for prospective customers outside of the Cologne area)  :-\

Well, it includes the X-Mas business and that's what counts, I guess.

Pop-up stores are temporary, that's the whole point…

It's a low cost way to introduce product into a new market.

[Dion]

Will there be any advertising to let people know?

[Giles]

You already know…..

But yes, as soon as I have images of the new store we will social media it...

Ten weeks is actually pretty long for a pop-up. We've had such stores for merely a couple of days here in Berlin.
I'm a little sad this will be at the other end of the country, so I'll almost certainly will be unable to drop in. Trust I'll learn all about it here…. 

[Giles]

The Kentaurus crew get the first 18 boxes…...

[Finkster]

about 300 km's  + 300 to return … damn
decisions, decisions!  :-\

[Andreas1965]

less than 50 km away from me… I'll be there next Saturday
