Morning Hatch — First Wednesdays
2026-08-05 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | T-REX 5th Floor, 911 Washington Ave. Suite 500, St. Louis, MO, 63101, United States
On August 5, hear Jeff and Randy Vines, Co-Creators of STL-Style, present “Brick and Mortar in 2026 – What We’ve Learned Along The Way.” They will discuss how they’ve leveraged your brand’s authenticity amidst challenges in running a relatively old-school, largely analog brick and mortar storefront in the post-Amazon/post-COVID/post-AI era.

Jeff and Randy Vines are twins and STL dynamos who are unapologetically proud of their hometown. Founded in 2001, STL-Style shares the greatness of St. Louis with the rest of the world with original apparel, prints, and more. There’s no doubt you’ve seen their popular, unique designs around town! The brothers also remain active in civic affairs, from historic preservation to youth education workshops to offbeat tours of city neighborhoods.
