PopUp Republic publishes pictorial map depicting 50 pop-ups in 50 states

CHICAGO - July 3, 2014 - PRLog -- In a personal tribute to America’s Independence Day, PopUp Republic has published a pictorial map of the United States featuring a selection of independent merchants that will be hosting upcoming pop-up shops, pop-up restaurants and pop-up events in all 50 states.

“We believe that pop-up entrepreneurs personify the “American dream” — individual creativity, risk-taking, and community engagement,” said Kate Young, PopUp Republic’s business development director and the creator of the popup map of the U.S. “Pop-ups are hosted by a diverse group of merchants, are revitalizing economically-challenged communities, and are a whole lot of fun to boot,” she continued.

Since joining PopUp Republic several weeks ago, Young said she has been moved by the spirit and collegiality of the pop-up movement.  “Not only are people who host pop-ups amazing, but the people who attend them are awesome too! Pop-ups are liberating, giving creative outlets to chefs, artists, collectors, and musicians to exhibit their works, products and talents. Their customers are people who are looking for once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Together, they are what America is all about and I wanted to create a map for the July 4th holiday that illustrated that,” she said.  The map can be found at www.popuprepublic.com/blog.
