• Business expenses are the sole responsibility of the participant

• We promote our pop-up shops via social media promotions, email marketing, online advertising, local publications, and local associations to ensure that we bring out as many shoppers as possible

• We expect all of our participants to also promote the pop-up shop within their schools, clubs, community organizations, friends, family, and neighbors
   

CONSIDERATIONS FOR OUR SPRING 2026 POP-UP SHOP

• Our Spring 2026 Pop-up at Broadway Plaza is geared for entrepreneurs ages 8–18. 

• Creating something special takes all of us. We pour an incredible amount of heart and hard work into making our pop-up shops joyful and successful—and we ask that you do your part as well. Participants and their families or support teams should arrive ready to confidently share their businesses and products with the world, and to make the best of any unexpected circumstances, whether that’s a rainstorm, a gust of wind, a nearby “competitor,” or other challenges that may arise. We appreciate your kindness, willingness to lend a hand, and adaptability.

• Your child will be expected to actively manage their table for the duration of their shift, from 11am - 3pm.

  • Please arrive between 10-11am and be set-up before 11am and tear down/depart at 3pm.

  • Due to the extended duration of our Spring Pop-up, participants should consider enlisting the help of a family member while they take breaks.

• Payment method options for customers are at the sole discretion of the participant. Card readers and accounts must be set up in advance of the pop-up shop, as there is no guarantee of wi-fi availability during our pop-up shop.

• Participants manage their own finances and are entitled to their profit; Girls Crushing It does not take a commission on sales.
  ​

​POP-UP SHOP DETAILS & LOGISTICS

• This event will be held outdoors. Although your child's table will be within the footprint of a tent, there may be environmental factors such as sun, wind and rain. Please plan accordingly.

• This event will take place rain or shine. Refunds will not be issued for weather-related cancellations.

• Our Spring Pop-up Shop will be stationed behind the Apple Store, between Nordstrom and Zara, so we anticipate a lively atmosphere with ample foot traffic.​

• During registration, you may request to be near a buddy. Tables and tents are pre-assigned, taking into account product variety, participant age and buddy requests. While we make every effort to accommodate requests, it’s just not always possible. We will not be able to accommodate requests to move to a different table or tent on the day of the event. 

• Parking: Hourly paid parking is available at the Broadway Plaza garage located at 539 S Broadway, Walnut Creek, CA 94596

• You may be able to find other paid and free parking options nearby. We recommend using a wagon or wheeled bag to transport your products and supplies.
