Johnnie-O, the active lifestyle apparel brand for men, women and boys, will open its new store in at The Village adjacent to the South Park Mall in Charlotte, NC, an upscale shopping venue, on August 15.
Founded by John O’Donnell and led locally by menswear veteran Paul Simon, Johnnie-O offers “prep-meets-performance style.” The Village location will feature a selection of signature polos, pullovers, button-down shirts, outerwear, and accessories. The opening comes as Johnnie-O marks 20 years in business and the Paul Simon Company celebrates 50 years in the menswear industry.
“In my three decades working with the Simon family, I’ve seen their commitment to quality and service firsthand,” said Chris Knott, chief merchandising officer at Johnnie-O. “As Johnnie-O celebrates its 20th anniversary, we are excited to bring our full brand experience to Charlotte in partnership with a team that shares our values and vision for thoughtful, authentic retail.”
“This opening builds on The Village’s vision as a destination for distinctive retail and timeless style,” said Holly Van Cleave, director of Marketing and Business Development at SouthPark. “Johnnie-O offers a fresh, approachable take on menswear that our guests will appreciate, whether they’re discovering the brand for the first time or already fans of its laid-back polish.”
Shortly after opening, the store will host a seasonal trunk show featuring the brand’s Fall 2025 collection.
