New Pop-Up Store Opens in Enger Lofts Marketplace

DULUTH, Minn. — A new pop-up shop has opened up at Enger Lofts Marketplace in Lincoln Park.

AuraEye opened up at the start of December as a pop-up store filled with vintage clothing, home goods and artisan jewelry.

The owner of store, Laura Mullen, who also co-owns Bent Paddle Brewing, said she got the idea in late October and everything happened quickly from there.

Many of the items in the store are from consignment shops and vendors, with a focus on local and women owned businesses.

Mullen said the holidays were a busy time at the store.

“December was a whirlwind, so lots of holiday shoppers and then lots of people who love finding a unique find said, I’m coming when it’s a slower time of year to take a look and find some really unique pieces, either for clothes, or home foods, furniture, things like that,” said Mullen.

Mullen and her longtime friend Emily share a passion for thrifting and want to bring their finds into the community.

“So many times, we’re out, we find something really unique, really fabulous and we can’t take everything home with so. So it’s nice to be able to find something, and then say I know somebody is going to love this,” said Emily Hicks Nys, AuraEye Stylist.

AuraEye will be at the marketplace through February and is open Thursdays through Sundays.
