Mark Wahlberg, cofounder of Municipal, celebrates the brand's first store opening in West Hollywood with more stores and product categories coming.
The crowd was loud and the vibe was upbeat as people packed into the new Municipal store in West Hollywood, showcasing the performance wear brand cofounded by Mark Wahlberg and colleagues nearly four years ago.
Nearby was Harry Arnett, one of Municipal’s cofounders and the brand’s chief executive officer, who has years of apparel and golf equipment experience to carry the brand forward.This is the label’s first permanent brick-and-mortar following Municipal a seven-month-long pop-up that opened last November at New York City’sThe new outpost at 8609 Melrose Avenue is filled with men’s performance wear that can also double as casual clothes for a day at the office or informal social occasions.
In 2019, after brainstorming, the brand was born. But development soon screeched to a halt when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, causing the venture’s financing to fall through. Fortunately, more financing was found and by July 2020, Municipal was off and running again with its athletic and performance wear. “We not only wanted to make the best products in the world, but we also wanted to allow folks to afford it,” said Arnett, who for several years worked for Topgolf Callaway Brands.
And more developments are in the works. This fall, grooming products will be released including a line of shaving cream, after shave, moisturizer, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand lotion. A womenswear line will debut in two months as well as golf bags. At the beginning of 2025, eyewear will be introduced.
