Minnow, a family lifestyle brand from Charleston, South Carolina, has made its debut in New York City with a pop-up shop on the Upper East Side at 829 Madison Avenue. This cozy 238-square-foot space opened on Wednesday and will stay open until the end of this year. It marks the brand’s first presence in the Northeast after their successful flagship store in Charleston earlier this year.

Morgan Smith, the founder of Minnow, shared her excitement about this new location, saying, "New York has always held a special place in my heart." She hopes the shop reflects the brand’s coastal roots while providing a meaningful shopping experience for families in the city.
The store showcases Minnow’s full spring collection along with exclusive pieces from their collaboration with Liberty Fabrics. Shoppers will find swimwear, resort wear, sleepwear, and a selection of curated accessories, including handbags and hats designed by Sarah Bray.
To create a welcoming atmosphere, the store’s design channels a serene poolside cabana feel, thanks to Claire Pritchett, a friend of the brand who conceived the shop’s layout and decor.
As Minnow enters this busy retail market, it’s worthwhile to note that pop-up shops have gained popularity. They allow brands to connect with customers in new ways, creating a sense of urgency around exclusive offerings. According to recent data from Statista, the global pop-up retail market is expected to surpass $13 billion by 2025. This trend reflects a growing consumer desire for unique shopping experiences and personalized products.
User response on social media to Minnow’s opening has been positive, with many parents expressing excitement about having a local spot to shop for high-quality kids’ clothing that doesn’t compromise on style. Social media trends indicate that family-oriented brands focusing on sustainable and thoughtfully designed products are gaining traction, as consumers become increasingly conscious about their purchasing choices.
