Citi Trends, Inc.

An off-price value retailer that sells brand-name apparel, accessories, and home goods at deep discounts, with its stores mostly tucked into Black communities across dozens of states. Its roots go back to 1946, when Savannah Wholesale Co. began supplying hosiery to Southern clothiers; the company opened its first store in 1958 as Allied Department Stores, then rebranded to Citi Trends in 2000. A fun detail: the old "Allied" name honored the World War II Allied forces.
