Good Day Atlanta Viewer Information: June 8, 2026

Atlanta - Local small business "pop up" in downtown Atlanta thanks to unique program: The World Cup is about to bring visitors from around the globe to Atlanta — and more than a dozen locally-owned businesses are ready to take advantage of the tourism to grow their brands. This morning on Good Day Atlanta, we got a look at the city’s exciting new Downtown Pop-Up Opportunity Fund in action, visiting businesses including Dough in the Box and Swiftly Vintage in their new temporary storefronts. The Downtown Pop-Up Opportunity Fund is administered by Downtown Atlanta, Inc. in partnership with Invest Atlanta and Showcase Atlanta, and the mission of the program is twofold: give small businesses the opportunity to set up in storefront locations ahead of big events like the World Cup, and to fill otherwise vacant small retail spaces in areas like Sweet Auburn, Castleberry Hill, Fairlie-Poplar, and South Downtown.
