Shopping for fashion…in the Treasure Valley.

What comes to mind? Do we have enough options to keep your closet stocked and trendy, or do you rely on the internet for that?

Thanks to The Village at Meridian, tons of new and large clothing brands have come to our area that otherwise, have not been options for in-person shopping. But what is missing? We still don’t have a Zara, for example.

One ‘trendy’ and popular clothing line that does NOT have a permanent location in Idaho has decided they’re going to be ‘popping up’ and you guessed it, it’s going to be at The Village at Meridian.

Have you ever heard of ‘Lonely Ghost’? The streetwear brand is easy to spot around town, frequently. The brand touts a goal of inclusivity and positivity in the ‘streetwear space’.

The webpage dedicated to Lonely Ghost’s Meridian Pop-Up says the following:

Boise, we’re coming back! If you were there last time, you already know this isn’t just a pop-up. It’s the kind of pop up everyone talks about after. The people, the experience, the energy. And if you missed it the first time? Here’s your opportunity to right your wrong. Bring your friends. Bring your heart. Bring the version of yourself that’s been craving something real. We’ll be there—waiting with open arms, new pieces we made just for this, and maybe even a few surprises.

One of the most popular critiques online so far? The location isn’t in Boise–it’s in Meridian!

Come on, Lonely Ghost…give Meridian their flowers!

Expect the pop-up location to be popular and BUSY! The event will be held on April 17th and 18th from 10:00 in the morning until 9:00 at night, both days.

The exact address of the pop-up is: 2126 N Eagle Road, Suite 120, Meridian ID 83646
