Mercedes has used the pop-up store format recently at other sites at London’s Westfield and Sheffield's Meadowhall shopping centres. It has been using them as a way of accessing high footfall retail locations and to show off new products. Mercedes said over one million customers have visited its pop-up stores since it first launched the idea three years ago in October 2015.
