Remember the VerdunLuv Pop-up container last summer? Well, we are pleased to announce that this year, the Pop-up has found a storefront!
Starting June 1st, you can visit the brand new Pop-up Verdun Luv store to discover local businesses and artisans who will be taking over the space every month.
Why such a project, you ask us? Over the past few years, we have noticed a lack of retail stores on the street. As a solution, we decided to welcome and help entrepreneurs who are ready to set up in a location and who wish to test the Verdun market at lower risk. You can learn more about the project in this article!
Follow the Instagram page to make sure you don’t miss any of the businesses that will be set up there!
