Poptopia Returns To Uptown Charlotte through 12/21

With the holiday countdown dwindling, are you still making your list and checking it twice? Don’t fret, the Poptopia Holiday market is popping back up for two weeks…this time at 212 South Tryon Street. From 11am – 3pm each weekday through December 21st, Poptopia is back with a number of local vendors at 212 South Tryon Street. No matter who is still left on your shopping list, you’ll find something to give and probably a few things you’d like to get as well. Here is a peek at the vendors you’ll find popping up: 

704 Shop

704 Shop is owned by three former UNCC students with a huge heart for our beautiful crown town. 704 Shop creates graphic tees, hats and a variety of Charlotte paraphernalia no matter if you are a 704 native or have settled into your new hometown. 

Our picks:

Buckskin & Mane

Founded by three military veterans with a passion for health, wellness and giving back to the community, Buckskin & Mane offers premium, all-natural alternatives to mainstream grooming products. Even better, they donate $1 from every product sold to Charlotte Bridge Home – a local non-profit that aids Charlotte, NC area veterans transition from military service.
