Pop-up stores , guerilla restaurants, they are the new thing. Existing from an hour to a few weeks, they can appear in derilict warehouses or in the best streets.The marmite store, do you know about marmite? A peculiar black sandwich spread made from a yeast extract that is a by-product of beer brewing.
For children of English, South African or New Zealand background this is as iconic as Noddy, dinky toys or buzzy bees.
As they say you either love it or hate it.
Their pop-up store in Regent St will exist a few weeks (until the end of the year).
You get the cheese variety here in SA now.
ReplyDeleteMarmite rocks yer socks off.
Interesting, both the pop-up stores and the Marmite stuff. I have only tasted it once....
ReplyDeletePerhaps i should give it another try??
Anyway,-GOD HELG / Have a nice weekend!!
Yuck - Marmite is vile! Couldn't they have filled the space with lovely pasteries, cakes, chocolates or something worth eating?
ReplyDeleteSimilar to "vegimite"? Great window display!
ReplyDeleteLove Marmite especially with cheese melt! These pop-up stores are very intriguing. None here in York unfortunately. Ciao. A.
ReplyDeleteI love Marmite .... the secret is to spread very thinly on a buttered cracker - yummy.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog - it's on my "must-read" list :o)
What a cool idea. The officials here wouldn't tolerate them for so long.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks very chic. And I love the idea of a pop up store.
ReplyDeleteYou always have your finger on the pulse Mo. These pop-up shops are a brilliant idea - I hope they stick around and other ideas come out of this
ReplyDeleteAt least it's just temporary! I'm with Karen: Vile's the word.
ReplyDeleteA store (albeit a pop-up one) just for Marmite? What will they think of next?
ReplyDeleteNice shot!
ReplyDeleteBut marmite... not for me please.
Cheers Mo, have a great weekend!
A pop up store! that will never be allowed in Washington,DC. I think it is a great and colorful idea. It is just hard to imagine here. Besides the marmite store any other kind?
ReplyDeleteI love the blog, London is beautiful and the air we breathe as well.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are great, lots of kisses.!

I saw this the other day, I didn't realise it was a pop-up store! I hate marmite btw.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is "It's a Marmite thing" is now short hand for "You either love it or you hate it".
ReplyDeleteI love Marmite flavoured stuff (like the rice cakes, LOVE the rice cakes) but not Marmite itself. Weird.
I didn't know this sort of enterprise (like calender shops) were called Pop-up stores, but it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteLove it or hate it? Hate it!
I went to a pop-up Diet Coke store in Boston last month. Everything in the store was free! :)
