This quality and creative brand is a fusion of hometown pride with streetwear. 704 Shop is dedicated to doing its part to bring people together to be part of a broader conversation supporting positive change and culture.

In this episode, you will learn how Chris went from corporate to entrepreneur full-time successfully with a brand that takes pride in bringing different demographics together and survive the woes of merchandise shipping through 2020's pandemic. Chris can be found at many community events. He is passionate about volunteering, currently serving on the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance's Executive Committee and Board of Trustees, the UNC Charlotte Foundation Board of Directors, the City of Charlotte Business Advisory Committee, and the Greater Steps Scholars Scholarship Fund Alumni Committee.
