Storefront is an online marketplace that connects makers and entrepreneurs in the creative industries with short-term retail space in vacant stores, in order to fill approximately 1 in 10 empty storefronts across the US and support the 28 million small businesses and entrepreneurs, especially the 1/6 that work in creative fields. The marketplace aims to revitalize local economies by facilitating pop-up shops and experiences as part of broader trends in the sharing economy and the personal selling revolution enabled by digital platforms.
