The watch and jewelry store located in the Epicentre Uptown is owned by James Mack. About a week after reopening, the store was looted over the weekend.
“We have to think about the long-term economic effects, especially on African-American businesses,” Mack says. “When the demonstrations are over, I’ll be dealing with the impacts for months.
“We want to be open, we want to do business. We love Charlotte. We care about what happened to our brother George Floyd, and it’s important for us to be open.”
How to support: For now, the store is closed — it could be months before its operable again. The store was also damaged during the 2016 protests, and it took months to reopen, Mack says.
After speaking with other business owners, he decided to launch a GoFundMe to help the store reopen as quickly as possible. You can donate here.
