Rize is offering local entrepreneurs the opportunity to set up shop in our “pop up” retail space at Kingsway and Broadway. It’s a high pedestrian traffic location, and it will give people with a small business the chance to showcase and sell their one-of-a-kind products.
As you may know, Rize has submitted a rezoning application to the City of Vancouver for this corner, where we would like to build housing and new retail in the Mount Pleasant community. Although both initiatives are happening at once, they are not directly related.
We have vacant space at this site and we developed this initiative to introduce new retailers to the community while providing opportunity for some young companies to generate exposure and experience. We think that this non traditional retail space will be a fun experience for the neighbourhood and the young entrepreneurs involved and, who knows, maybe we will find a future permanent retailer for the proposed new building!
