The Detroit Pistons and Comerica Bank have announced the return of the SHOP313 Pop-Up Shops, an initiative designed to elevate small businesses in Metro Detroit. Beginning January 31, the program will provide 28 Michigan-based small businesses with valuable exposure and resources throughout the 2024-25 NBA season.
SHOP313 Pop-Up Shops, presented by Comerica, offers participating businesses an opportunity to showcase their brands to a broad audience, featuring in-game activations at Little Caesars Arena, digital signage, and promotional support via the Pistons’ website and social media channels.
The collaboration between Comerica and the Pistons highlights both companies’ commitment to helping small businesses thrive, which is essential for the local and state economy. Now in its second year, this partnership is all about supporting entrepreneurs and business owners in reaching more customers and growing their businesses.
Dave Sanabria, Detroit Pistons Vice President of Partnership Engagement, highlighted the Detroit Pistons SHOP313 Small Business Platform recognizes the value and importance of small businesses in the community.
“Our partnership with Comerica Bank delivers unique opportunities to help small businesses grow and positively impact their own local neighborhoods and communities,” Sanabria said.
Each designated game will feature seven Comerica Bank small business customers, six of whom will engage directly with fans in the SHOP313 Pop-Up Shops area within the UWM District Market concourse. The seventh business will receive suite access, allowing for enhanced business-to-business networking opportunities with clients and prospects.
All participating businesses will also benefit from in-arena digital signage and brand awareness campaigns across social media.
