Greenback Normal started testing the Popshelf idea in late 2020.

Atlanta – Run, don’t stroll, to your nearest Popshelf retailer, the upscale hybrid launched by Greenback Normal.

Half HomeGoods, half drug retailer and half Pier 1 with a contact of greenback retailer, that is the freshest retail idea I’ve seen in a really very long time. BBB, TJX and chain drug shops beware.

Right here’s my report from a retailer in Tucker, Ga., an Atlanta suburb.

On a regular basis fundamentals are the staple of the Popshelf smooth house assortment.

The Good

  • It’s superb how massive shops can’t cross-merchandise when start-ups like Popshelf nail it proper from the beginning. Exhibiting exhausting and smooth house collectively and even mixing in some consumables, this retailer does all of it properly from the minute you stroll within the door.
  • From House Depot’s orange to Goal’s crimson, retailers have used shade to model themselves. Popshelf does it with purple, from the procuring carts and baskets to the in-store signage and even the worker uniforms. A easy piece of efficient merchandising.
  • Whereas many of the retailer is ornamental equipment and consumables, its house textiles assortment contains towels, kitchen textiles, dec pillows and throws. It stays away from utility merchandise and fundamentals like sheets to make all of it about trend. And nice costs: $3 kitchen towels and $10 throws. All non-public label, by the best way.

Greenback Normal characterizes Popsehlf as “a one-stop recent + enjoyable store.”

The Unhealthy

  • It was a battle to seek out something to criticize on this place. Maybe it may have had some extra bedding items and possibly it missed a chance when it got here to small occasional furnishings, however that’s simply nitpicking.

The Ugly

  • Whereas the Popshelf identify is cool and hip, informal buyers wouldn’t have a clue what this retailer sells in the event that they have been driving by. A tagline or another sort of identification would possibly assist whereas it builds out its chain of shops.
