Desus & Mero New York, NY
A mobile shop with its own personality.
A custom Bodega Boys merchandise truck put Desus & Mero’s humor and identity on the street, with a bright mobile storefront and apparel printing on board.
The opportunity
The brief.
Build a merchandise experience that could meet fans in the city and feel unmistakably part of the Bodega Boys’ world.
POPUP’s role
The work behind the experience.
POPUP delivered the custom Mister Nutcracker merchandise truck for the Bodega Boys, connecting the branded vehicle with a practical onboard merchandise setup.
- Custom merchandise truck
- Mobile retail environment
- Vehicle branding
- Onboard merchandise setup
For the Bodega Boys / Desus & Mero. This is distinct from the glass-box mobile-bodega tour.
Inside the experience
Make the vehicle a recognizable destination.
Yellow-and-red graphics and oversized Bodega Boys lettering gave the truck a strong presence on the street. The serving window offered a familiar point of contact between the mobile shop and its audience.
Put the merchandise operation on board.
The interior incorporated a heat-press station for apparel. The production setup made the vehicle more than a moving graphic: it carried the practical equipment for the merchandise experience.
