Hey there, Greenville! If you’ve been dreaming of indulging in a bit of luxury shopping without the necessity of hopping on a plane to a big city, you’re in for a treat. This charming city, known for its warm Southern hospitality and vibrant arts scene, is now home to the Access Pop-up Tour – an exciting luxury retail experience that you absolutely don’t want to miss out on. The pop-up has been making a splash at Haywood Mall since August and will be here until October 17, so you’ve got plenty of time to check it out!
What makes the Access Pop-up truly special? It’s a collaboration brought to you by the renowned Bal Harbour Shops in Miami. This isn’t just any shopping experience; it’s a world of high-end fashion and upscale dining transported into our very own quaint community. Picture this: a stunning 17,000 square foot mobile pop-up created from 30 shipping containers, complete with covered walkways, cozy fans, and a retractable canopy. It’s as chic as it sounds, and it seamlessly blends the allure of urban luxury with the charm of Greenville’s small-town feel.
When you step into this pop-up paradise, you’re greeted with the lush decor reminiscent of the famous Bal Harbour Shops. Prime luxury brands like Tiffany & Co., Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, and Chanel are just a taste of what awaits. You can indulge yourself in upscale fashion while sipping a seasonal cocktail at The Whitman, a fine dining restaurant that seats 150 and offers a full bar and lounge to relax in after your shopping spree!
To give us some insight into the magic behind this innovative concept, we caught up with Matthew Whitman Lazenby, the President and CEO of Whitman Family Development. He shared some fascinating details about how the Access Pop-up is a perfect opportunity for those who typically do not have easy access to luxury shopping.
Matthew tells us that the goal of the Access Pop-up is to bridge that gap, allowing more people to enjoy the luxury shopping experience firsthand. “We saw an untapped opportunity to bring the Bal Harbour experience to them,” he explained. His family-run company has a rich history in real estate development, particularly in commercial luxury spaces.
You might be wondering what attracted them to our lovely city. According to Matthew, “Greenville effortlessly combines Southern hospitality with a thriving arts and culture scene.” With picturesque parks and award-winning restaurants, it’s the kind of place where sophisticated shopping blends perfectly with community spirit.
As he shared, “The beauty of the Access Pop-up is that we can truly test the market without the long-term commitment.” This kind of pop-up experience may well be a new trend for future luxury retailers looking to expand their reach into smaller cities. Those of us living in these locations can finally indulge in high-end treats without the trouble of traveling to a metropolis.
So, whether you’re aiming for that chic handbag or simply want to treat yourself to a delightful meal at The Whitman, the Bal Harbour Shops Access Pop-up has something for everyone. It’s a celebration of luxury shopping right here in Greenville, and we couldn’t be more excited! If you’re around, make sure to stop by before it wraps up on October 17. You deserve a taste of the good life!
