Charlotte jewelry brand KIKI will open its first permanent store at Camp North End on Saturday, Aug. 16.
Why it matters: Known for its waterproof and hypoallergenic gold-filled jewelry, the pop-up-turned-permanent shop joins a growing list of local businesses in one of Charlotte's most talked-about developments.
Catch up quick: Local entrepreneur Kris Cox founded the brand during the pandemic as a hobby. You may have spotted him, or picked up one of his pieces, at events like Front Porch Sundays, Mistletoe Market at Camp North End and pop-ups at other local businesses like Room Service. "The girls who are heavy into pool days or the gym love buying our earrings because they can keep them in all the time," Cox tells Axios.
