Christmas decoration shops and Halloween-costume merchants would rent space and vacate it after the holiday. Those kinds of operations still proliferate, but entrepreneurs in a wide variety of other industries are realizing how valuable limitedrun shops can be. So are big brands. Walmart used a pair of pop-up stores to test potential locations in California, and makeup seller Sephora created temporary shops in New York City and Los Angeles to promote a new color line. Some retailers get especially creative: Shipping containers, Airstream trailers, and igloo-shaped tents have all been used to house transient endeavors. "It's definitely a growing trend," says Megan Donadio, a retail strategist with Kurt Salmon, a consulting firm that specializes in consumer products. "It's a lowoverhead way for retailers to test a new product or geographic market, and it often generates marketing buzz." Temporary ventures can also turn vacant real estate into something profitable that brings new traffic to areas in need of an economic boost. One of the biggest experiments with the "test new concepts and see what sticks" approach is happening in West Dallas, an economically struggling area that investors and city officials have long targeted for revitalization. Nearly a decade ago, Phil Romano, the founder of Macaroni Grill, began buying up real estate there with the help of two business partners. In late 2012, he launched phase one of his plan for spurring development: a 15-acre restaurant park called Trinity Groves that is centered on what Romano calls a "restaurant concept incubator." http://www.K1SPEED.com http://www.K1SPEED.com http://www.TheParkingSpot.com
