What’s POP?
What’s POP?

POP is a place where people come together to celebrate all things local. We’re passionate about local goods made by local people. Our community is made up of makers, small businesses, shoppers, and friends, all connected by a love for community and creativity. We offer thousands of unique products, each crafted by real people who genuinely care about what they do. Every item we sell has been imagined, designed, and created by a local.

POP was founded by Gabe Trew, who is all about creating community experiences that bring people together and inspire feel good change. With the idea of a fun, engaging, and exciting store, POP was created. Gabe, along with the fantastic support of Christa, our operations manager, and Push, our assistant store manager, leads a small but mighty team of retail creatives who work hard to bring you the best of local. POP is lively, fun, and all about feel-good vibes!

How it all began

2018

We launched POP as a 4-week pop-up in Canberra. What started small quickly blossomed into a vibrant community space supporting local creatives.

2019

In just one year, POP grew from featuring 40 makers to over 200, establishing itself as the place to go for local goodies. We launched a second pop-up store and the buzz really got started.

2020

We built our very first year-round store and started creating a powerful community that celebrated local every single day.

2021

POP introduced late-night shopping, offering a unique, fun experience that made supporting local even more exciting.

2022

We turned 4 and celebrated by welcoming our 300th maker in-store! We clocked over 5000 local products and started running regular tastings and events.

2023

We launched our POP Points program and really dialled up the local love! We kept growing, soaring over 300 makers and surpassing 7000 products in-store.

2024

POP has rebranded with a fresh, new look! We've announced plans to expand across Australia and launched our online store, offering shopping and delivery Australia-wide.
