The City of Luxembourg has launched its second call for pop-up stores to set up shop temporarily in the capital.

In autumn 2019, the City of Luxembourg launched its pop-up stores project, which supports trade, promotes entrepreneurship and contributes to the creation of a diversified commercial offer in the city centre. At the beginning of December last year, the College of the Mayor and Aldermen inaugurated the first two temporary stores located on Rue Philippe II: "Bricks4Kidz" and "BOTARI", which were selected following the first call for applications, remain open to the public until the end of July 2020.

From the beginning of August 2020, the two premises will welcome new operators with new concepts and products. Thus, the City of Luxembourg is launching a new call for applications: creators, artists, traders or start-ups interested in renting one of the two sales and exhibition spaces can now submit their application using the available form on the website of the City of Luxembourg.

The deadline for submitting applications is Sunday 21 June 2020 inclusive. Applications will be analysed at the end of June so that the new pop-up stores can open their doors from August.

The premises, located at 38 and 40 Rue Philippe II have an area of ​​approximately 45 m2. Proposals in the field of clothing, accessories and jewelry, home equipment, services and leisure, care and beauty, art, fashion and photography or even dry packaged food are authorised.

The minimum rental period is one month and the maximum duration is six months; an extension up to three months is possible depending on the availability of the space. The amount of monthly rent varies according to the specific situation of the entrepreneur or the merchant and a general flat rate for the charges is added to the rent.
