Greetings Retail Design Institute Southern California Chapter members!
We hope everyone survived the hurriquake of August 2023 and are making plans for their Labor Day Weekend. Three-week countdown to our next in person event on Larchmont Blvd, we hope you can make it! We’ll be visiting such stores as Rothy’s, Beyond Yoga, Topdrawer, Buck Mason, Thirteen Lune and capping off with drinks and refreshments at Faherty. Be sure to stop by the farmers market too. And try to grab a gooey cookie at Levain’s!
Did you know the Southern California Chapter includes the regions of Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Hawaii? It’s true! If you know any innovative store experiences, retail companies, or consultants in any of these areas please let us know! We’d love to spotlight them in this series.
