Showroom Chi features upscale streetwear, hotRAGS offers a variety of new-age clothing choices, DDC Wraps with African-inspired clothing and accessories, and XIMI-V with popular Asian-themed products. 

Foodies will have new options as well, with Exotic Snack Guys offering international treats, Molly's Cupcakes tempting with gourmet creations, and Sushi Mania providing grab-and-go sushi and poke bowls. Island Boy Food Truck brings a taste of the islands, while Zesty Xpress Food Truck offers Middle Eastern and Indian flavors.

The ceremony will be followed by individual ribbon cuttings at each storefront.
