CELEBRATING THE GRAND OPENING OF BODY’S FIRST FLAGSHIP STORE
Body by Raven Tracy proudly celebrated the grand opening of its first flagship store on Melrose Avenue this past weekend with two back-to-back events. The VIP / Press night gave a curated list of guests, family, and friends a chance to view the store and enjoy a night of music and surprise gifting from Buxom, Ilia, Topicals and Blk Water. The all-pink storefront opened its doors on the following day, featuring a special guest performance by City Cinderella rapper JT. Raven held a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony before opening the store, allowing fans and customers to shop and enjoy free boxes of Ronan pizza, custom Body-themed juice bar and gelato flavors, and activities such as tooth gems, piercings, and airbrushed tanks. The weekend created an energetic and empowering atmosphere, celebrating the brand’s diverse community and commitment to body positivity and self-love.
The brand new Body store is stocked with some of its most popular and best-selling styles, such as Body Basics, the Backshot Swim 3-piece skirt set, and the ‘It Girl’ short set—accompanied by-products only available in-store in sizes 2XS-4XL.
