Pingree Detroit to Open Flagship Store on Veteran's Day, Bringing Sustainable Fashion to The District Detroit

Pingree Detroit, a worker-owned footwear company that supports U.S. military veterans and employs Detroiters, is set to open its first flagship store in The District Detroit development near Little Caesars Arena. The new shop will be located at 22 W. Columbia St. and will feature a showroom and workshop where customers can watch artisans craft products.

Co-founder and CEO Jarret Schlaff describes the company's energy as "incredible" right now, citing the city's thriving atmosphere as a key factor in its success. Pingree Detroit is not only committed to sustainability but also prioritizes transparency, with 77% of profits being shared or reinvested locally.

The company boasts that over 55,000 pounds of recycled materials have been diverted from landfills to make handcrafted footwear, bags, and accessories. In addition to retail, the space will host "Footwear Fridays" where customers can meet their makers and watch artisans at work.

Schlaff emphasizes the importance of worker ownership in driving success, stating that it's an "economic survival strategy." The company's commitment to community is reflected in its pop-up event on November 10th at Little Caesars Arena, featuring a limited-edition collection with the Red Wings in celebration of their 100th season.

A portion of proceeds from this pop-up will benefit local charities supporting veterans. By opening its flagship store on Veteran's Day, Pingree Detroit is solidifying its presence in The District Detroit and continuing to make a positive impact on the community it serves.
 
I think this is so cool 💕! Pingree Detroit is not just some trendy brand trying to make a profit off sustainable fashion - they actually care about the people and the planet 🌎. Worker ownership is such a great model, too - it's like a business that's really invested in its community (no pun intended). And 77% of profits being shared locally? That's just amazing 💖. I love how they're not just talking about sustainability, but also transparency and accountability. It's refreshing to see companies prioritizing what really matters. Plus, the fact that this store is opening on Veteran's Day is such a great way to celebrate the people who have served our country 🙏. Can't wait to check out their flagship store and support them 💪!

Genius! 🤩

Love how sustainable fashion is finally getting some love 💚👞 They're literally diverting 55k pounds of trash from landfills, that's like, totally making up for last year 🤦‍♀️ and I'm hyped to check out their flagship store on Veteran's Day 👏
 
Just read that Pingree Detroit is opening their first flagship store on Veteran's Day 🎉 I think this is super cool! Not only are they creating sustainable fashion, but they're also supporting the local community by hiring Detroiter workers and sharing 77% of their profits back into the city. It's awesome to see a company prioritize transparency and social responsibility 💚 And how amazing that they're committed to reducing waste by using recycled materials - we could all learn from that! 👍
 
omg i'm so hyped for pingree detroit's new flagship store! 🤩 they're doing some amazing things with sustainability and transparency - 77% of their profits being shared locally is insane! 💸 i love how they're prioritizing community too, like that pop-up event at little caesars arena to benefit local charities supporting vets 🎯 it's so cool that they're bringing together artisanship and social responsibility. plus, who doesn't want to shop from a company owned by veterans themselves? 💕 can't wait to check out the showroom and workshop! 👞
 
I'm so down for Pingree Detroit opening up shop on Veteran's Day 🤩 but like, isn't that kinda exploiting the whole veteran vibe? I mean, I love that they're supporting local charities, don't get me wrong, but is it too much to ask for a genuine connection between the brand and the community? At the same time, I'm all about sustainability and transparency - 77% of profits shared locally? That's awesome! 🌟 But, on the flip side, isn't worker ownership just another way to say 'we're not paying our employees enough'? Ugh, my mind is totally torn on this one 🤯
 
I mean, I'm loving this vibe! A worker-owned company like Pingree Detroit is really making a difference in Detroit. I remember when I was a kid, my grandma used to work at Ford, and she always said that the people who made a real impact were the ones who owned their own businesses. It's awesome to see them succeeding and giving back to the community. And, you know, sustainable fashion is so important nowadays. We need more of these kinds of companies leading by example.

I'm also loving the fact that they're opening up this store right in The District Detroit. It's gonna be a hub for creativity and innovation, and I can already imagine how cool it's gonna be to check out their flagship store. And the "Footwear Fridays" thing is genius! Who wouldn't want to meet the makers behind those awesome products? 🤑👟

I don’t usually comment but I think it’s really cool that Pingree Detroit is doing this sustainable thing with their shoes... I mean, who wouldn't want to shop from a company that’s actually helping out the community? The fact that they’re worker-owned and all that jazz just makes me feel good about buying something. And 77% of profits being shared locally is no joke! It's like they're really living up to their name, you know? I think it's awesome that they're getting this pop-up event going on with the Red Wings too... what a great way to celebrate their anniversary and support some good causes at the same time 🤩
 
I think this is a total game-changer for Detroit! I mean, who doesn't love sustainable fashion, right? 🤩 But seriously, this is all about creating jobs and stimulating local economic growth. Worker ownership like this is a huge pro for communities, it keeps the dough local and gives people a stake in their community's success. And let's be real, 77% of profits being shared or reinvested locally is like a nice little slap in the face to corporate greed 🤑.

But what really gets me excited is the emphasis on transparency and accountability. I mean, we've all been burned by corporations before, so it's refreshing to see someone doing things differently. And the fact that they're using recycled materials to make their products? That's just plain cool, dude! 💚

And have you seen the pop-up event with the Red Wings? That's some solid community-building right there. I think this is exactly what we need more of in America: businesses that care about the community and are willing to put their money where their mouth is. So, yeah, Pingree Detroit is definitely on my radar! 👍
 
I love that Pingree Detroit is giving back to their community like this 🙌. Supporting local businesses and donating to charities is just so important, especially when they're run by people who genuinely care about making a difference. The fact that 77% of profits are being shared locally? That's just amazing 💸. And the idea of "Footwear Fridays" where customers can meet the artisans who make those beautiful shoes? So cool! 🎨 I'm definitely going to have to check out their flagship store when it opens 👟
