Does anyone know where to find out where I can hire space for pop up shops? Is there a community or directory or anywhere?

It is to sell mid-high end fashion.

Or perhaps is there a reatil community anyone can recommend to me?

Are you manic or just trying to sell something???

haha, neither... lots of posts from me because I want to sell my sofa on here... and you need to have written 10 posts to be allowed. But instead of writting up garbage to meet the 10 post criteria, I have written up questions that I would like to pick peoples brains about anyway!

Startup company not going full swing until Jan 2015, but getting started on my research! Not sure I'll find too many Swiss Retail Specialists on English Forum but worth a try!

PS the TV thing is 100% true!!!

I've seen a few "pop-up" shops around, there's one in one of the Viadukt arches, another on Josephstrasse... no idea who you would approach other than just all the usual commercial rental agencies.

Yeah, maybe I just write to the Viaduct, my stock is perfect style/price for their customer market so hopefully it's something they are interested in.... But no doubt everyone wants a pop-up in the Viaduct and they charge a packet! I've worked in retail head office's for 8 years, 6 of which in london.... but still nothing prepared me for rental costs of a permanent shop in Zurich!... Welcome to Switzerland ; )

Rent within the Viadukt development is actually quite affordable. I'll PM you the contact details of the main man, he speaks fluent English.

Then you'd better check these two sites to make sure you've got everything right.
