Dyson's first retail store opens as part of a trial run
Original Message   Dec 10, 2009 7:58 am
Dyson opens its first pop-up shop today, created by the product company’s in-house team. If Dyson deems the venture a success, it will consider opening a permanent store.

You have a point. Maybe Dyson had an agreement with the landlord to trial the site for a number of months and then the option to commit to a long-term contract if they decided to stay beyond that.
It's quite common to see retail units being advertised for short-term rents. For example the town near me has shop locations with leases offered by the week / month.


Thank you and one now for you.  Since my last post on visiting the dyson site, I purchased/installed a new computer to replace a 6 year old which lost its hard drive suddenly.  Using the click, drag and drop method you suggested I am able to view the other countries for dyson's markets.  Thank you for suggesting it.  Tho it didn't work at the time, I suspect due to the limitations of the computer, it surely does now.

Just curious on how well this dyson store is panning out.  Any news/updates to report here on the success of this concept store for dyson in the UK?

Bless you for the topic Carmine. I was much, much in need of comic relief today.

Check out http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/ AND be sure to turn comments "on". Things get interesting. From what I gathered, it was merely a temporary venture until January 25th of this year. I hope this is an error on my part.

Hi Venson:

We both read this the same way.  Gone out of business.

In due respect for he concept of a pop-up store, it is not meant to have long life.  Just 5-6 weeks.  As this dyson store.  The real meat of the matter will be if dyson returns again this year with the pop up store for the holidays stocked with kitchen ware appliances, as suggested in other threads.

Hello turtle:

Interestingly I received an email from dyson today with their latest for dyson owners with pets:  DC23 and 24 animal models.  Doesn't look good for anything new coming from dyson this year except for DC33 and DC35 both variations on the same old dyson theme with a tad more spin and marketing.  I admit $319 for dyson's DC33 Muti-floor is more reasonable than DC 07 and 14, both scrubbed.  I expect as the holiday season ramps up DC33 prices will come down more.  I note that the 20 percent discounts from Bed Bath and Beyond no longer excludes dyson purchases.  Applies now to all dyson products too.  I recall several years ago when BB&B tried this, dyson had a hissy fit and made them exclude dysons from the discounts.  No more.  Shades of Wal*Mart.

Hi Carmine

Agree .....gotta do discounts to move dysons....but so much more is available at a fraction of the dyson price for a far better deep clean and longer lasting product.....been proven time and time again......dyson is only playing catch up with far lower priced and superior cleaning units....as always...need more be said Carmine?

Dyson is quickly becoming a niche vacuum maker/seller.  What it always should have been has been forced on it despite all dyson's spin and marketing to declare itself a mainstream seller.  Never was.  Which is not a bad thing.  Except dyson can't afford to pay 500 engineers for niche vacuums.  Hence the push by dyson to expand into hand driers and fans.  And if we can believe the dyson fans here kitchen appliances.  Will the latter pan out?  Hasn't so far and not looking good IMHO.  So what's next for the illustrious dyson.  Dig in and resort/resign itself to a niche vacuum brand and market: It's bread and butter.  And revamp prices down after firing 400 of its high paid engineers and who knows how many lawyers to defend its patents.

The vacuum cleaner by Dyson wasn't the first actual Dyson, Carmine, so it isn't particularly true that because of the vacuum cleaners, their expertise should be brought into question. Again this seems to be a challenging view by U.S versus U.K and the U.S seem to only have got the vacuums and nothing else in their range. A company that becomes established in the UK can become a major player overnight - buyers aren't impressed by price alone - Miele's larger household appliances in the U.K are a prime example of this. Although they are good, they are largely overpriced and despite some of their appliances like their washing machines than can have "updated software" by going online, it doesn't really impress many buyers if the cost price is too high. Dyson's vacuum cleaners have always been a niche marketing idea from the cyclone suction system (whether you choose to agree with me or not) in the same way that Miele, SEBO and BOSCH offer better quality build, efficiency, design and performance at higher prices. I know which brands I prefer - but without their cyclone suction "technology," Dyson would be dead in the water, or at best play along with other brands offering paper pleated cones that need to be cleaned after every use to keep the suction going.
