Not Sorry Goods was featured in Metromode!

We were featured in Second Wave Meida's Metromode! Metromode is a digital news magazine focused in the metro area of Michigan! MJ Galbraith wrote:

"With a retail presence in Ferndale’s Rust Belt Market and a production studio at the Ponyride Detroit maker space, Not Sorry Goods made the most out of their shared workspaces. Now the sustainable lifestyle retailer is ready to make another leap forward: Not Sorry Goods is prepping for the grand opening of their flagship store along Woodward Avenue in downtown Ferndale. A celebration is planned from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, July 30."

For any confusion, we will still have a booth Rust Belt Market! We are only a couple minutes away from Rust Belt and will still have product available to shop on the weekends. In our new store you can catch new upcycled products in stock and watch clothing being customized and worked on.

Here's a bit of what they do:

Offer resources for the youth like development and leadership programs- where they help mold the youth into becoming young adults with skills such as resume writing , mental health, racism, and much more.

Some of the different groups they have are coming out discussions, disability, gentle yoga, LGBTQ+ parents, mens discussion, LGBTQ+ people of color, and transgender and nonbinary discussions.
