Kanye West's Boston Pop-up Store Opened Friday, and the Lines Were Insane
Apparently, people were camping out for Boston's Pablo Store.
Boston, MA — Kanye West's temporary "Pablo" clothing store debuted Friday in Boston and closes Sunday, or whenever it sells out. Based on the lines we're seeing, it could well be the latter — and soon.
The rapper and producer turned fashion designer/rapper/producer announced Boston as one of 21 worldwide locations for the "Life of Pablo" fashion line's pop-up shop in a tweet this week.
Even before it opened at 899 Boylston St. Friday morning, the lines were already monstrous.

According to several tweets, people were even camping out to get a spot:

Just wait 'til West brings his St. Pablo tour to Boston's TD Garden. (That's September 3, in case you need to prep your tent and sleeping bag.)
