Retail areas near parks, beaches, cultural attractions and entertainment venues often see significant increases in foot traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For brands, this seasonal activity creates the perfect environment for temporary stores that focus on discovery and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many retailers also use summer pop-ups to build momentum ahead of the major Q4 retail season.
