Store creator Rianna Loving created the concept “to offer a new platform for smaller brands that are innovative with a point of difference, great packaging and strong performance that may not be able to obtain distribution in today’s market as the larger retailers only focus on established brands. I want to help these brands gain exposure with consumers in order to build a loyal following and use our first retail door, future expansion stores in other marts in southern California and other major metropolitan areas in the United States, and website as a stepping stone to becoming a household name and attract a loyal following.” To help with the effort, Rianna has enlisted Brad Jones, a brand manager who has worked in product development, distribution, branding and strategy for such brands as Andre Walker Hair, Drybar, The Blind Barber, Ted Gibson and Neil George to assist with the merchant buying role to identify the newest indie brands just waiting to be discovered.

It was designed by Irving Gill. Horatio West Court divides its narrow lot symmetrically, placing two units on either side of a driveway that runs the length of the lot to a rear parking area, where two garages are topped with little apartments.
