PHOENIX — Peoria officials are hosting a grand opening and ribbon-cutting event for Pop-Up Peoria this Saturday at 10 a.m. with the Peoria Chamber of Commerce.
Pop-Up Peoria is a public-private collaboration between the city and Park West that will allow retail space in the shopping mall to be used for community programs and activity, according to a press release.
The city developed the concept in partnership with Park West, CIRE Equity, Peoria Forward and The Grand Project Shoppe.
The front of the store will have retail space for a collection of featured Peoria artisans, provided by The Grand Project Shoppe, while the back portion will be programmed community space.
