Retail in Detroit is expanding, reaching out to every neighborhood throughout the city. This makes it easier for Detroiters to have access to quality goods and services without having to leave the city, or even in some cases the neighborhood. Here is a curated list of new and emerging, or new to the city, businesses now located in the city of Detroit.
CRÈME BRǓLÉE
Crème Brûlée is brand new to the Detroit salon scene, having just hosted their grand opening on July 8th of this year. This salon is a premiere multicultural salon that looks to meet clients with diversity and inclusion by offering services to those of any hair type or need. Katrina Wilson, Crème Brûlée’s owner, has been working in the cosmetology field at age 13 and became licensed at 16. Now she is happy to work with Detroiters of all backgrounds and offer quality services within the city of Detroit.

XHIBITION
Although Xhibition has yet to open its doors to the public, the luxury streetwear retailer is beyond excited to do so in the fall, marking their third retail location. The first Xhibition store opened in Cleveland, Ohio in 2014, and has since grown in respect not only in the midwest but globally. The store will be located in the Capital Park neighborhood and will feature both men’s and women’s apparel, footwear, and home objects, all of which will be by uniquely selected designers.
