● THE TAKE
Most brands hire a builder, a stafffirm, and a permit consultant, then pray they align. We're all three — so the doors open on time and the recap tells you if it worked.
// FOUND-YOU MOMENT
✕ Coordinated a builder, a staffing vendor, and a permit consultant
✕ Opened late because the fixtures weren't ready
✕ Had no clean read on traffic or sales after
✕ Staffed with people who'd never seen the brand
✕ Scrambled on permits and COIs at the last minute
✕ Torn down with no plan for the assets
We're the builder, the staffing firm, and the operator — one partner.
A pop-up is a store you have to design, build, permit, staff, stock, and tear down — fast, in an unfamiliar market. We run the whole thing. From a weekend brand residency to a month-long retail takeover, Ignite handles design, fabrication, build-out, staffing, POS, and the recap — so your team approves a concept and shows up to a finished store.

Pop-up and branded retail covers temporary storefronts, brand residencies, and retail takeovers — short-run physical retail that builds brand and drives trial. Ignite runs the full lifecycle: concept, design, fabrication, permits, staffing, POS, and teardown.
Because design, fabrication, and staffing all live in-house, the doors open on time and on budget — no finger-pointing between a builder, a staffing vendor, and a permit consultant.
Every pop-up is measured through Spark — traffic, sales, samples, leads, and content captured — so you know what the store actually returned, not just that it looked good.
Best for CPG, beverage, and lifestyle brands launching products, entering new markets, or building brand through experiential retail moments.
