Campus Martius has a new pop-up mini-shop backed by Carhartt.

Show notes

The Downtown Detroit Partnership opened the concept today in a fancied-up shipping container right in the park, stocked with Detroit-made goods, apparel, and some genuinely solid local collabs.

The idea is to sell interesting, locally rooted stuff and funnel the proceeds back into keeping downtown parks active and programmed.

A few quick impressions after stopping by: the setup is clean, the Detroit Sign Painters touches give it character, and the new Campus Martius branding looks sharp in person.

I've always been a huge fan of the Michigania statue on the top of the Soldiers and Sailors monument, and I love how she's represented here.

If you didn't know, Michigania is the personification of the State of Michigan and of powerful victory — strong and brave. The Soldiers and Sailors Monument has stood here since 1872.

There’s also a limited SMPLFD drop inspired by the tulip bloom, plus the usual mix of shirts, hats, and small gifts.

Plus, there's a Pewabic tile featuring Campus Martius, part of their “Postcards from Detroit” series and only available here.

Open Thursday through Sunday, noon to 8 p.m., and is expected to run through October.
