Zuvaa is coming back to Atlanta.

The Africa-inspired online retailer will have a free pop-up shop from noon to 8 p.m. on April 30 and May 1 at the B Loft, 1465 Chattahoochee Ave. N.W.

Founder and CEO Kelechi Anyadiegwu said the last visit to Atlanta “exceeded our expectations. The crowd was excited, engaged and incredibly supportive. The Atlanta market is ideal for Zuvaa. It’s a city full of professional, trendy and conscious consumers.”

Anyadiegwu, who founded the online retailer in 2014, was recently named in Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list of the most promising and influential young entrepreneurs.

Last year, the company earned $500,000 in revenues. Anyadiegwu said in a previous interview that she expects revenues to reach $2 million.
