Within the past year [pop-up experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokyo-popups) have revived beloved shows like Saved by the Bell and Sailor Moon while creating buzz about upcoming season's of Riverdale and Stranger Things alike, but one campaign entitled Pop-ups: The Restaurant, wants to offer a permanent space for these temporary experiences.

Announced on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-flosser) by the California-based couple Clinton and Samantha Jones, this unconventional pop culture experience would “unite the flavors and creativity of pop culture delicacies with the excitement and exclusivity of [pop-up restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-eats-sandwich-studio).”

Every two months, the space would feature a different "pop-up," enabling guests to experience an entirely new world with every visit. Additionally, this concept restaurant would host "premiere nights" to mark the start of a new two month cycle.
