SPACEANDPEOPLE: Pop Up, Serve More, Grow Fast.

The smartest way to take your food business where the footfall is — without the high operational overheads.

Looking to get your food brand in front of thousands, without committing to a long lease or building a permanent setup? Whether you’re a mobile caterer, a trailer operator, or running a fast-growing food product — pop-up retail is your route to:

✓ Increased Sales
✓ Boosted Brand Awareness
✓ Real-time Customer Feedback

SpaceandPeople and NCASS have partnered to empower food businesses like yours access high footfall locations across the UK — including major shopping centres, retail parks, and train stations.

What is Pop-Up Retail?

Pop-up retail is a short-term, flexible, face-to-face retail format— great for testing new menus and markets, launching new concepts, seasonal boosts and expanding your presence.

With us, you can bring your product to customers at the right time, in the right place, for as long (or short) as you need.

We help you find the best spot, secure the space, and set up- this is food retail on your terms.

Where Can You Pop Up?

We work across three main types of venues:

Shopping Centres

• Think indoor kiosks and consistent footfall.
• Great for compact menus and high-frequency snacking.

Retail Parks

• Ample outdoor space, family traffic, easy access for larger catering units.

Train Stations

• High footfall, rush hour spikes, great for takeaway-focused offers and branded grab-and-go units.

*Pop-up opportunities at Train Stations are exclusive to Northern Rail Stations *

Indoor or Outdoor – What Works for You?

Internal (Indoor) Sites: Protected, high-traffic spots within shopping centres – ideal for premium kiosks or modular counters.

External (Outdoor) Sites: Open-air locations with space for trailers, vans, gazebos, airstreams and more- outside shopping centres, train stations, in retail parks and mixed-use locations.
