A visit to the Method pop-up store on Halstad

What a treat.

For the last few weeks I have taken walks up and down Broadway and Halstad with no real objective in mind. In Italy, they would call this "Fare un giro" or literally, to take a turn [around town]. One of the jewels of such walks is accidentally stumbling onto a shop like the Method pop-up shop on Halstad.

Although I don't have any photos, the shop is filled with many of Method's products (as you might guess) but also acts as a "detox" location, where you can bring any chemicals or hazardous materials that you don't know how to dispose of properly. The store also offers a deal on what they call "the detox kit," aka 5 of whatever items are on the shelves for $5 each (I bought laundry detergent [normally $10], shampoo, and dish detergent). There is also a photo booth where you can take your photo and document your cleanliness.

The store gives you a re-usable bag to use for your products and several coupons for future purchases.

What a deal... too bad this place is closing in one week. Although there are many things I miss about not having a Target nearby, one of them is not being able to purchase Method products regularly. Method is one brands whose essnce could transfer over so-well to a regular retail store.

Maybe I'll go back next weekend.
