COOL DOWN WITH HAVAIANAS AT THE WORLD’S FIRST MELTING STORE
Pop-up activations are a dime a dozen. “Limited edition” and “limited time only” are words that are thrown around by everyone and they don’t necessarily mean anything.
Havaianas is taking the idea of limited time to a whole new level and creating the World’s first melting store. Guests will be invited to indulge in a custom snow cone while escaping the California heat inside of the icy walls.
It might be open for a day, maybe two hours – it all depends on the temperature (mercury rising). So get there while it’s hot as Havaianas brings you the cool.
On Saturday, June 3rd, Havaianas will unveil their melting store on the Santa Monica Pier. Constructed entirely out of ice, there’s no telling how long it will be there. As soon as it melts, it’s gone forever.
Guests will be invited to cool down inside while a sculptor shaves the melting walls into ice cone treats. The first 100 guests to stop by will receive a free pair of Havaianas.
At this store you don’t have to spend a dime, and in fact, you can’t.
