As the Downtown Days of Wonder season comes to a close this week, we're celebrating some awesome initial stats from our Pop-Up Shop Program. Haven't visited our Downtown Tulsa Pop-Up Shops yet? You still have time, but hurry — most shops start to wrap their season this week and will close by January 15th.
We at Downtown Tulsa Partnership are happy to report that one of the Pop-Up Shops, Tropical Origin, has signed a lease for their space in the Philtower and will be staying past the 15th! Additional Pop-Up Shops are discussing long-term leases with property owners, so more to come soon on that!
In the meantime, here are some huge wins:
- Nine of our 11 participants (82%) are BIPOC entrepreneurs (82%).
- For seven of our entrepreneurs, this is their first time hosting their product in a brick-and-mortar setting of their own.
- Nine of the 11 (82%) are female entrepreneurs.
