Pop-up retail space idea supported by Merseyside Special Investment Fund

A business that provides short term space to retailers has secured an £18k loan from the Merseyside Special Investment Fund (MSIF).

Revolver Retail developed following the popularity of pop-up stores, and provides space for retailers to rent for a short time, avoiding expensive long term leases.

The company was set up in 2013 by managing director Matt Bell and he was later joined by Gary Carney in 2014 who works as the business development director.

Tenants currently based in the Revolver Retail’s Rex store include a range of stockists in fashion, jewellery and art.

Director Gary Carney said to the Liverpool Echo: “There is a lot of talent locally, particularly in the creative industries, however, it can be difficult for these businesses to showcase their products to the public because it is expensive and risky to take on a shop.

“Rex offers the chance for retailers to sell their products in Liverpool city centre which attracts around 60 million visitors per year.”
