No primary category set

Would you like to win a two week, rent free flagship store in the heart of London, Paris or New York City? If so then you’ll be pleased to hear that payments company Square is working with Appear Here, the marketplace for short-term pop up space, to host a competition for small businesses to win a retail space for their idea.

“There is a magic in making an idea come to life. Which is why we want to give visionary designers, talented entrepreneurs, and budding creatives the chance to show the world what their ideas can do. We’re looking for people who can create something truly unique in their space. At Appear Here we believe that when the right idea hits the right space at the right time, great things can happen. When you think about brands like Paul Smith that have managed to build global empires off the back of a market stall, or even Appear Here’s own conception, which was sparked off the back of a small shop for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, it’s exciting to see what Space for Ideas can achieve by connecting these ideas to spaces in the world’s best cities.”
– Ross Bailey, Appear Here founder and CEO
