COVID-19 has catapulted the retail world forward by 5+ years, creating many problems for both retailers and space owners. 

Problems for brands

Brands are facing challenges in both the physical and digital aspects of their businesses.

Physical Retail 

• Brands need flexibility.
• Long-term leases expose brands to many risks.
• Traditional leasing channels are painful and expensive.

Digital Retail

• Today's retailers must have both a digital and physical presence.

Problems for landlords

Retail vacancy rates are approaching all-time highs and landlords are in need of cash-flow to save them from foreclosure.

Helping Brands Thrive in the Digital & Physical World

Popshop enjoys a unique competitive edge within our sector. Unlike our competitors, we are not solely focused on physical retail. Our goal is to create a tool that can help brands throughout their entire retail journey, both physical and digital.  

Popshop is hyper-focused on technical innovation, making our products efficient and simple to use. For example, our competitors don't have a mobile app, an e-commerce builder, or a global community. Popshop is pushing the boundaries and will continue to innovate at a speed far greater than any competition.

Our vision for Popshop is to create a platform that allows anyone anywhere in the world to be apart of our community and create, launch, and successfully manage their brand. We want to make the process so simple that anyone can launch their business, regardless of their technical abilities.

Our founders know first hand the challenges for both retailers and landlords and we are determined to help. By the time we are done, launching your brand will feel like magic!

$1 Million invested by founders

Our founders have currently contributed $1M to date to launch, develop and maintain the platform.  We are now actively raising additional funds that will go towards enhancing technologies, marketing, and other departments for expansion. In addition to the Republic campaign, we are currently raising $2M from investors to accelerate our growth and get Popshop into the hands of every retailer who is in need of help. 

Experienced entrepreneurs and best friends since childhood

Since meeting in kindergarten, Efry and Nathan have been best friends and 25 years later little has changed. Growing up in the suburbs outside of Washington D.C., the two were entrepreneurial from a young age. 

Growing up, Nathan spent his summers and weekends working in his families retail stores, where he developed his knowledge of both brick and mortar and online retail. Efry would spend his summers working for his family's real estate company, working every job from hands-on construction to developing and leasing. The perfect recipe for creating Popshop.
