For one grand prize winner, 218 Clematis Street in Downtown West Palm Beach, FL will become home for a new retail business as a result of The Great Shop Showdown competition, which kicked off July 1. While entries are to be submitted through July 31 before choosing a finalist, a Pop Up Shop installment is planned to be held July 22 to July 31, from 11 AM to 9 PM EST, occupying the soon-to-be retail property. As the Great Shop Showdown coincides with Independent Retailer Month, the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority (WPB DDA) has agreed on the temporary boutique.
A Fashionable Introduction to Independent Retail
Furnished by Design Within Reach, the space will be showcased to the public, making them familiar with the up and coming retail location.
