Drift Clothing Co. signs lease at West Acres
Burgeoning entrepreneur Brittani Huseth opened Drift Clothing Co . as a pop-up in the former Swanson’s Health Products space in downtown Fargo last summer, selling on-trend, affordably-priced clothing for teens, college students and 20-somethings.
Huseth, along with the help of her mom, Shawna Huseth, moved the successful pop-up into the former CJ Banks space at West Acres Shopping Center for the holidays . The Huseths decided they liked the mall so much that they wanted to set up a more established presence there.
Now they’ve signed a two-year lease and are in the process of renovating the store for a spring grand opening, Brittani says. While saws whir and workers create a new space, Brittani says they will temporarily set up shop in a vacant store nearby in the JC Penney wing.
Check out Brittani’s style and inventory @drift.clothingco on Instagram.
