  • Testing retail concepts in phases to refine scalability without overcommitting.

  • Embedding local culture like SoCal lowrider aesthetics and thrifting trends to resonate with specific audiences.

  • Offering hands-on interactions and community-driven events to boost engagement and leave lasting impressions.
