Entrepreneur Seeks Support for Bloomington Streetwear Store
A local entrepreneur presented plans to establish a physical storefront for his sneaker and streetwear business in Bloomington during a recent city council meeting.
Schllo Meta, CEO and founder of Twin Cities Streetwear, outlined his vision for bringing his six-year-old business to a brick-and-mortar location. The company, which Meta started as a high school freshman in 2019, specializes in buying, selling, trading and consigning fashion items that typically sell above retail price, including popular sneaker brands like Jordans, Yeezys and Dunks, along with vintage clothing.
Meta emphasized the business's customer-focused approach, noting the company offers payment plans and trade options to accommodate various budgets. He said the business has reinvested all profits over six years to build an inventory of more than 1,000 items for consumers.
The proposed Bloomington location would serve as both a retail space and community gathering spot, according to Meta's presentation. He announced plans to host bi-weekly events designed to connect local businesses and allow entrepreneurs to network while discussing the sneaker and fashion industries.
Meta revealed he is among the top 10 contestants in The Hatch Bloomington competition and requested community members vote for Twin Cities Streetwear in the contest. Details about the competition timeline and voting process were not provided during the presentation.
