Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN pop-up shop in Vancouver is open Wednesday – and Wednesday only – as anyone who’s seen the lineup near Columbia and East Pender has surely gathered.

The shop is located at Livestock‘s Chinatown location at 141 East Pender St, but the lineup to get in has been snaking its way down the streets nearby.
With doors open from 11 am to 7 pm, hopeful shoppers were apparently standing—and sitting, and probably sleeping—in line since 4 am.

Those waiting in line were given sheets detailing the merchandise and pricing to speed up the time each customer would take in the shop.

Lamar is in Vancouver today for his Rogers Arena concert that begins at 7:30 pm, so the rumour of him potentially making an appearance is not completely unfounded.

Vancouverites (and Lamar) only have until 7 pm to get to the shop and purchase the one-day-only clothing and accessories—given the state of things, we suggest getting there fast.
