Why people call us.

More than 25 years in the industry across our team: sales, production, fabrication and installation.

  • The install

    Where most jobs fall apart, and the part we never hand off. The crew that plans it installs it.

  • The deadline

    Tight timeframes are normal for us. We plan back from opening night and stay on site until it's right.

  • One contact

    One point of contact from the first call to bump-out. No chain of suppliers, nothing lost between them.

  • Any scale

    From one kiosk to a national rollout, with crews resourced to the job.

How an In Mind job runs.

Step by step: a pop-up, from the first site visit to the doors opening.

  1. Your vision, the space and the goals first. We survey the site, then guide you to the right approach, materials, budget and timing.

    You get: a measured site and a plan.

  2. Ideas turned into designs that work in the real world. The artwork, the details and the finishes are agreed before anything is made.

    You get: drawings and artwork to sign off.

  3. The print, the skins and the frame, made and checked against the drawings before anything leaves for site.

    You get: every piece made to spec, on time.

  4. The same team on site, start to finish. Stood up, finished and checked before the doors open.

    You get: the people who planned it, installing it.

Questions about pop-ups.

Or skip the questions: call Anya on 0431 277 601.

How much does a pop-up shop cost?

It depends on the size, how long it's up and how much is built rather than hired. A branded kiosk costs less than a fitted-out store, and a touring build costs more up front but less each time it goes up again. Send us the site, the dates and what you're selling.

Do I need approval for a pop-up in a shopping centre?

Yes. Centres approve the design, drawings, materials and install times before anything goes in, and most ask for insurance and fire-rating certificates. We prepare the drawings and paperwork for the centre and install outside trading hours.

How quickly can a pop-up go up?

Most go in overnight or in a single shift, because they're built and tested before they reach the site and only assembled there. We plan the build back from your opening day.

What's the difference between a pop-up shop and a kiosk?

A pop-up shop is a short-term store, fitted out to trade for days or months. A kiosk is a freestanding unit in a centre's mall or an airport, often there longer, with a counter, storage and branding on every side.

Can a pop-up tour to other cities?

Yes. A touring build is made to pack into crates, travel and go up the same way in the next city, installed by our crew or one we brief.
