The owner of Stitch Revivals is Andrew Martinez, a 23- year-old Kennesaw resident. Leading up to the grand opening of his shop, he collected many clothes from vendors and people around the area of Kennesaw who donated to him. The 23-year- old looks to give his customers an authentic experience where they can express themselves through the store’s clothing. Photo taken by Jaidyn Bridgeforth on Oct. 16, 2025

Martinez shows Wilson a pair of pants he saved in the back for him. Martinez always makes an effort to support his customers’ needs by ensuring he helps them find what they’re looking for while also making all of his items affordable for both residents and Kennesaw students nearby.
