POP-UP POTENTIAL: THE EFFECT OF REGULATORY LAWS ON THE INNOVATION OF POP-UP RESTAURANTS By: Alexandra Lauren Lizano† ABSTRACT Pop-up restaurants have risen in popularity over the past decade in the United States. As used in this Comment, a pop-up restaurant is when an existing restaurant space temporarily loans that space to another chef or restaurant for a limited period of time. This Comment seeks to explore the potential benefits and exploit the drawbacks of pop-up restaurants as property solutions in large cities. Pop-up restaurants thrive in the landscape of the sharing economy, and as such, legal scholars pose that it is imperative to understand this new type of economic scheme to efficiently regulate the entities within it.
