The Story Behind Uniquities

From one storefront to 34 years of styling women, meet our founder, Julie Jennings, and discover the vision that shaped Uniquities into what it is today.

“It was in 1992 that I started Uniquities. I knew no one in North Carolina but somehow I managed to find an empty storefront on West Franklin St, buy some inventory and set up shop. A ton of hard work, resilience and grit have led me to where I am today with five locations in North Carolina, ownership of the building that I found empty back in the summer of 1992 and leading a team of strong, smart women to bring amazing clothing, accessories and style to this little part of heaven.”
