Retail Pop Up Shops
UPDATE: We are pleased to announce that the Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro Pop-Up Program has been recognized by WMATA as one of the best and brightest examples of sustainable business practices through their annual Sustainability Awards Program. Each year, WMATA awards a group of individuals who have shown a strong commitment to “going green.” As part of their creative initiative aimed to recycle and repurpose retired Metro railcars, the Railcar Recycling team received WMATA’s highest honor, Gold Sustainability Champions. The Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro Pop-Ups was one component of several green alternatives pursued by this team. Congratulations to the Railcar Recycling team for their efforts! Read more here:
Our Retail Pop Ups were a huge success! From May 17th, 2017 - October 27th, 2017, local businesses set up shop in an old 4,000-series Metro railcar to offer baked goods, prepared foods & other amenities to neighbors & commuters. Each pop-up was uniquely decorated & different.
Thousands of people enjoyed live performances by local artists and experienced the pop-up structures themselves. It’s all part of our vision for Strathmore Square!
