No, we’re not talking about pop-up stores or ones that sell popcorn or soda pop. Pop-tailers are a new breed of retailers that emphasise a younger viber of impulse items, toys and games, some personal care products, maybe food but all of it is essentially things you didn’t know you needed. Think of them as retail checkout lanes on steroids. I’ve created this genre and it includes both existing brands like Dollar Tree and Five Below but also newcomers like Popshelf, Miniso and Daiso. Find out what they have in common and why they are starting to pop up (sorry) in more and more places:
