The Sistah Shop, a lifestyle retailer promoting brands founded by women of color, will open its second location at Atlanta’s premier mixed-use destination, Atlantic Station. The store will feature products from over 75 local and national Black woman-owned businesses, with items including clothing & accessories, skincare, home goods, art, and curated collectibles. The 4,040-square-foot shop will open its doors at 265 18th St., Suite 4180, with a grand opening celebration set for Juneteenth weekend on Friday, June 17. 

“Atlantic Station caters to a diverse community and The Sistah Shop will serve as an excellent addition to our vibrant tenant mix,” said Starr Cumming, retail director of specialty leasing. “Over the last year, our leasing team has focused on providing opportunities to local small businesses and entrepreneurs on property to further our place as the heart of Atlanta. We look forward to welcoming The Sistah Shop this summer as we continue to offer impactful experiences for our guests.”

The Sistah Shop will sell products on a consignment basis during the week and will allow local vendors to host pop-ups on the weekends. This hybrid model allows The Sistah Shop to showcase more than 500 brands annually. The unique shop has been dubbed a “sanctuary for sisterhood,” and draws in customers with its clean, modern concept featuring shelves lining the walls with products, clothing racks in the center, a photo booth and an upbeat playlist that echoes through the storefront while customers shop. The Sistah Shop has already received an influx of applications from vendors who are eager to participate.
