DHL Express, an international shipping services provider, is going to where its customers are with a mobile pop-up store in Katy.
The company opened a 2,200-cubic-foot DHL ServicePoint shop on wheels at Katy Mills, a mall owned by Simon Property Group. It is DHL's second mobile pop-up in the United States.
“Our new pop-up store provides greater accessibility and a faster, more convenient experience for our customers,” DHL Express U.S. CEO Greg Hewitt said in an announcement. “This innovative, mobile model was installed to address Houston’s growing demand for international shipping services, which has increased significantly since last year due to a pandemic-related surge in e-commerce sales.”
The mobile unit, designed by Flexetail, adds a new option to DHL's 76 retail locations with DHL Service Point Partners in the Houston area. DHL also has retail counters at its service centers at 3300 Claymoore Park Drive and 18705 Lee Road in Humble.
Target opened its first small-format Houston store, totaling 63,000 square feet, at 2075 Westheimer in the Shepherd Square Shopping Center. The space was previously occupied by Randalls grocery. Small-format stores are opening in urban areas and dense suburban neighborhoods where a full-size store may not fit, according to Target. The store, which will employ about 100 people, joins 37 other Targets in the Houston area and is one of 140 small-format stores nationwide.

Shoppers will find handcrafted items, seasonal gifts and Brookwood's signature poinsettias grown by residents at its Brookshire campus.
