What types of spaces and events can you book on Storefront?

Storefront lists over 10,000 pop-up shops and event venues worldwide, and you can filter by event type to find a space that matches your use case. The platform supports both short-term bookings (under a week) and long-term arrangements (6 months or more), with rental periods available by the day, week, month, or year. If you need a retail storefront, a gallery, a showroom, or a photo shoot location, Storefront's search filters let you narrow results to the specific category you need.

Space and event types available on Storefront

Storefront organizes its inventory around event types. When you search, you select the type of event you're planning, and the platform returns spaces suited to that use. The categories listed on the site are:

• Retail / Pop-up store — short-term or extended retail spaces for selling products
• Showroom — dedicated spaces for displaying merchandise to buyers or press
• Art Exhibit / Gallery — venues for art exhibitions and gallery shows
• Conference — spaces configured for conferences and larger gatherings
• Corporate event — venues for company events, team offsites, and similar functions
• Food / Restaurant / Beverage — spaces suitable for food service or beverage-related activations
• Meeting space — smaller rooms for meetings and working sessions
• Product launch — venues for launching new products
• Sample sale — spaces for short-term sample sale events
• Photo shoot — locations suited to photography production

Beyond these event-driven categories, Storefront also lists two additional space types:

• Flexible Offices — office spaces available on flexible terms
• Shop Share — shared retail arrangements

This range means the platform covers both customer-facing commercial uses (retail, food, gallery) and behind-the-scenes needs (photo shoots, showrooms, meetings).

How to filter by event type and duration

Storefront's search interface is built around two primary filters:

1. Type of event — select from the list above (e.g., Retail / Pop-up store, Photo shoot, Conference).
2. Duration — choose from < 1 week, 1 – 4 weeks, 1 month +, or 6 months +.

You can also search by city. The site highlights top markets including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Milan, Hong Kong, and Barcelona. Each city page surfaces top spaces — for example, the New York listings include a 1,800 sq ft ground-floor space on East Broadway, a 500 sq ft white box in the Lower East Side near SoHo and Tribeca, a 1,000 sq ft showroom/pop-up/event space near Bowery, and a 7,000 sq ft Flatiron space suited to showrooms, fashion shows, pop-ups, or private events.

The combination of event type and duration filters is what makes the platform practical for both a one-day photo shoot and a six-month retail lease.

Matching space type to your use case

What to know before booking

Storefront states there are no hidden fees and offers free support. Payments are processed via Stripe. The site also offers a Priority Pass for customers who want to increase their chances of securing a space — Priority Pass holders receive bespoke space propositions, a dedicated account manager, and access to exclusive and offline spaces. If you're working within a tight timeline or looking for something not publicly listed, the Priority Pass is the route the platform provides for that.

One practical note: the site uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics, advertising, and functional purposes (including live chat via Intercom). You can opt out of marketing, analytics, and advertising categories through the data collection preferences panel, though essential cookies remain.

If your event type isn't in the list above, the closest match is usually the right filter — for example, a brand activation with food service would fall under Food / Restaurant / Beverage, while a press preview would fit Showroom or Product launch.
