Uplifting the Black community has been at the center of The Whitaker Group’s mission, which will continue with a new development in North Carolina.
This summer, The Whitaker Group — the James Whitner-founded parent company of retailers A Ma Maniére, Social Status, APB and Prosper — will open The Collective on Tuckaseegee in Charlotte, spanning 13,000 square feet with 10 retail units.
The development will include both emerging local businesses as well as a new APB store, dubbed APB Charlotte. What’s more, The Whitaker Group will introduce a skate park within the development. The Whitaker Group touted the skate park as the first “privately held, Black-owned, publicly accessible non-DIY skate park in the United States.”
