The clothing company
that puts a stamp on Bronx
culture is expanding. Bronx
Native of 127 Lincoln Avenue
will be opening a second location
at 866 Hunts Point Avenue
during this summer.
This location though
will be called the Bronx Native
Market and will have a
slightly different feel than
the brick and mortar shop
adjacent to the Third Avenue
Bridge.
“What we’re going to do
with this space is make it for
Bronx and uptown creatives
and brands to sell their own
apparel and merchandise,”
said Bronx native owner and
founder Amaurys Grullon.
The aim of Bronx Native
since its ‘day one’ inception
has been to promote an uptown
culture and show what
beauty, creativity, and style
lies in the Bronx that’s been
overlooked for far too long.
“We thought, what’s a better
way to do that then bring
in more of the Bronx and
give a space to such a creative
community,” he continued.
This expansion comes
just a few weeks after Bronx
Native had been feature on
the Viceland TV show, ‘Hustle’
where a fellow Bronxite
by the name of John Henry
gave the business some quality
tips and tricks to dominate
the Bronx market.
“(The show) helped us
learn a lot,” Grullon said.
“Some of what we learned
is why we’re able to open up
the Bronx Native Market. We
hope it’s all up from here,”
the entrepreneur continued.
