eBay (San Jose, CA) will open three temporary storefronts called “Hard to Find” gift shops as part of its holiday promotional strategy, Chain Store Age reports.
The pop-up shops will open in Detroit, Houston and Miami, with each focusing on a different holiday category, the article says.
The Hard to Find Sneaker Shop in Detroit will run from Nov. 19-20 and feature an assortment from retailer Urban Necessities as well as rare Nike sneakers. The Hard to Find Collectibles Shop in Houston will run from Dec. 3-4 and carry trading cards and various memorabilia. The Hard to Find Luxury Shop in Miami will run from Dec. 10-11 and feature rare timepieces and other items from high-end brands.
