The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Nu Gamma Omega Chapter will host a “Pretty Girl Pop Up Shop” from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 15 at their sorority building, 1747 Main Street in Baton Rouge.

Vice-President Linda Piper said this is the second year hosting this event. The event will have small business owners from restaurants, retail/boutique stores and more.

“Last year, families came out and shopped and supported these businesses. They spent over $8-10,000 in four hours,” said Piper.

Organizers said the event is part of a nationwide movement to build economic wealth.

“It takes a risk to actually start your own business, so we want to reinforce that the risk was taken for a good cause and make lifestyle changes to support, consistently, the businesses in our own communities,” said Angela Gooden, president of the Nu Gamma Omega Chapter.
