eBay (San Jose, CA) will open three temporary storefronts called “Hard to Find” gift shops as part of its holiday promotional strategy, Chain Store Age reports.

The pop-up shops will open in Detroit, Houston and Miami, with each focusing on a different holiday category, the article says.

The Hard to Find Sneaker Shop in Detroit will run from Nov. 19-20 and feature an assortment from retailer Urban Necessities as well as rare Nike sneakers. The Hard to Find Collectibles Shop in Houston will run from Dec. 3-4 and carry trading cards and various memorabilia. The Hard to Find Luxury Shop in Miami will run from Dec. 10-11 and feature rare timepieces and other items from high-end brands.

This isn’t eBay’s first foray into physical spaces, the article notes. In 2019, the online marketplace opened a one-day pop-up in Manhattan called the “Black Friday Escape Room” that allowed guests to participate in holiday challenges and visit a “Zen Room” serving refreshments with merchandise on display.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
