Wanna own a Citi Trends? Must know A LOT of black people....

Where the black people at?!
Yesterday as I was window shopping online for clothes SHUTTIE! I decided to check franchise information for different companies. Now you might ask why, well... I don't have an answer. No, I do not have buckets of gold bracelets that can melted down. No, I do not have any unclaimed money. No, I do not have an elderly uncle with no heirs. I'm just nosy, ok?




So I was randomly going to companies websites, Subway, Little Caesars, when something whispered, Check Cititrends. Okay....

I clicked on real estate and read through the requirements to own a franchise:

REAL ESTATE REQUIREMENTS
Grocery anchored centers, discount stores anchored strip and power centers. The tenant mix should be comprised of dollar stores, apparel stores, beauty supply stores and other value priced retailers. This made me laugh, I dunno why lol

The other information was similar to what I'm use to seeing as a requirement. Store size, income.....

BUT...

DEMOGRAPHICS
A minimum of 30,000 people in a 3 mile radius ring with a high concentration of African 
Americans. <<<<< You read this?!

I've never shopped in a Cititrends and I don't think I have any friends who would admit to such but to require that the store be located with a lot of negroes? I guess. I'm sure Cititrends has a marketing group who went out and about and found that African Americans love them some poorly constructed, cheap and slutty clothes. Do you boo!

In case you have the $$$, live in the inner city and have a neighborhood popping with black people, give these folks a holla.

  1. What a read it said African Americans and Hispanics! I guess that would be because mostly what they sell is urban wear!So you would be supplying a demand at a discount! Ross and Marshalls doesn't work for everybody's style needs!
