Pop-Up Shop Innovator “Space Qube” to Raise £110,000 in Equity

Space Qube, an innovator in the temporary or “pop-up” shopping space for premium shopping locations is looking to crowdfund capital and they are going to Seedrs to facilitate the equity offering.

Launching today the Southhampton based company is looking to offer 35% equity in the small business for a total raise of £110,000 over the next 90 days.  The company aims to provide a brick and mortar presence with an exceptional retail theatre meeting the demands of a pre-determined customer profile.

The new British company has created a  unique pop-up shop  enterprise.  The funds are required to lease the first Space Qube retail unit which will be sub-let on a short term basis to a variety of retailers in the form of pop-up shops. Once funding is secured, Space Qube will lease a retail unit in a premium shopping location and sub-let the space to retailers and brands for short term pop-up or marketing activity. Using their unique store-fitting system and talented design team, Space Qube can tailor the look of the space to suit the tenant’s objectives and can change the fit out over night to keep trading downtime to a minimum. Aimed at a variety of retailers including online brands who want to test their product on the high street, new brands who want to trial specific shopping locations and brands wanting to create an experiential campaign for a new launch or seasonal promotion, the space will bring a new opportunity to retailers wanting to create a memorable experience for their customers.

Space Qube is the brainchild of owner Alison John. An Interior Designer by trade, Alison believes that Britain’s high streets can be revived by bringing theatre, quality and variety back into retail. With the increasing popularity of online shopping, Space Qube will provide retailers with the opportunity to promote their products or services in an entertaining and interactive way, creating a buzz and excitement about a brand that can’t be achieved online. The trend for customers to use shops as showrooms and then buy their goods online is increasing, so Space Qube believes that this modern way of retailing will provide a seamless integration between on and off-line activity.
