About Us

The Mind Ya Business Pop-Up Shop was founded on June 19, 2019 by Larry Whitaker, Jr. and Robert Garris. They both wanted a place to sell their inspirational apparel and through conversation started to envision an event where other Black-Owned businesses could gain exposure for their businesses as well.  The two decided to have their first pop-up shop  event on Juneteenth  2010 in Chesapeake, VA, and have impacted hundreds of businesses and artists. 

Staying close to the vision, the MYB Clubhouse was acquired in the Summer of 2021 as a designated place of solace, support, and business development where the mission can go forth.
