Streetwear business pitches Bloomington storefront to city council
Twin City Street, a sneaker and resale fashion business, presented its expansion plans to the Bloomington City Council on July 17, seeking to open a physical storefront in the city as part of a local business competition.
Schllo Meta, CEO of Twin City Street, pitched the six-year-old business to council members, emphasizing the company's focus on affordability and accessibility in the sneaker and streetwear market. "Here at Twin City Street, we buy, sell, trade, and consign any fashion item that's unattainable for its retail price," Meta said, describing the core business model that allows customers to access high-end fashion at lower costs.
Meta highlighted the company's growth trajectory, noting that it has reinvested profits back into inventory over six years to build a selection of over 1,000 items. "Now, it's finally time for a storefront," Meta told the council, signaling readiness to move from online and pop-up operations to a permanent location in Bloomington.
The business is competing in "The Hatch Bloomington," a local entrepreneurship competition, and has advanced to the top 10 contestants. Meta made a direct appeal to the community, asking residents to vote for Twin City Street in the competition. The company aims to become more than just a retail space, positioning itself as a community hub that will connect with local brands and foster engagement.
Meta emphasized the business's customer-first approach, stating: "We prioritize our affordable and competitive pricing to ensure that there's always something for everyone." The presentation focused on how the storefront would serve Bloomington residents while supporting the broader local business ecosystem. No votes were taken during the meeting, as this appeared to be a public comment and pitch session rather than a formal council action item.
