Concept designs for Love From USA stores are credited to Love From USA’s esteemed Business Development team who expertly develop designs reflective of the local culture and lifestyle. In early 2024, Love From USA announced The Bay Collection, its inaugural store in San Francisco International Airport, set to open later the same year. This museum-like retail concept invites customers to shop artfully, historically, creatively, and culturally. The Bay Collection’s eye-catching design strategically places displays that will immerse visitors in a visual journey through the museums of San Francisco. The Bay Collection will also highlight the diverse heritage, history, architecture, culture, innovation, and modern design that defines this iconic, world-class city!
Patricia Chinander’s understanding of the importance of trends and improving her portfolio of brands goes beyond opening new stores. In March 2024, she successfully rebranded one of Love From USA’s Mall of America stores formerly known as The Neighborhood. The UBetcha! concept provides locally made and inspired apparel, drinkware, and gifts featuring Minnesota slang like Ope, You Betcha, and Uff Da! UBetcha! also proudly supports local artists.
