SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The city of San Francisco is moving forward with an innovative plan to bring more life to an already lively neighborhood. The idea is to turn eyesores into mini-stores.

Robyn Goldman will soon be part of an only in San Francisco experiment. Right now her popular ice cream company, Smitten is limited to festivals and fairs.

But by the end of next month a vacant lot could be her business address.

"It's such an interesting innovative project. We are doing a similar approach with ice cream, rethinking the ice cream experience with made-to-order ice cream in an artisan way," she said,

Goldman's company is going to be one of several "pop up stores" expected to be housed in recycled shipping containers.
