In 2018, Jordan Jackson, who was just 19 years old, became the youngest business owner in his area when he established his retail store, Birch & Pen, at Northwoods Mall in North Charleston, South Carolina. Currently, he is responsible for organizing several pop-up marketplaces featuring his brand and other local enterprises.
Since he became aware of his aptitude for style and how money came from it, Jackson desired to be a “young boss.” Before opening his shop, he began selling clothing through his online store, where he garnered broad acclaim for his creativity and expertise in the fashion and design industries.
It was first recognized as a clothes and accessories store catering to men’s and women’s high-fashion, fashionable items. He founded it with the assistance of his mother, Keisha, who was very supportive of him.
At the shopping center, Jackson was honored with trophies and accolades. On the other hand, after just one year, he decided on the retail store, highlighting that the closure does not signify the end of anything but rather the beginning of something new.
During an interview with ABC News 4, Jackson stated, “I was here to show you guys that it is possible to follow your dreams.” “So, without a doubt, make sure that you live your life without any regrets, and do so each and every day.” This does not mark the conclusion; it is only the beginning.
In the future, a few years from now, Jackson will have collaborated with other companies to establish several pop-up markets in Baltimore, Maryland, which is his hometown. Because of his enthusiasm for design, he organizes lifestyle marketplaces full of inspiration. These marketplaces offer apparel, home décor, cuisine from their businesses, and other local products they sell.
