CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The SouthPark Mall will soon welcome Johnnie-O, the nationally recognized men’s apparel brand blending West Coast casual with East Coast polish.
The Village location, opening on Aug. 15, is slated to join a thoughtfully curated mix of elevated retail, dining and lifestyle offerings that make SouthPark Mall one of Charlotte’s most refined shopping destinations.
Founded by John O’Donnell and championed locally by menswear veteran Paul Simon, Johnnie-O has earned a loyal following for its prep-meets-performance approach to everyday style.
The Village location will feature the brand’s signature polos, pullovers, button-downs, outerwear, and accessories, curated for shoppers seeking comfort, function, and standout detail.
The opening comes at a meaningful time, as Johnnie-O marks 20 years in business and the Paul Simon Company celebrates 50 years in menswear, two milestones that reflect a shared legacy of quality and innovation.
“In my three decades working with the Simon family, I’ve seen their commitment to quality and service firsthand,” said Chris Knott, chief merchandising officer at Johnnie-O. “As Johnnie-O celebrates its 20th anniversary, we are excited to bring our full brand experience to Charlotte in partnership with a team that shares our values and vision for thoughtful, authentic retail.”
“This opening builds on The Village’s vision as a destination for distinctive retail and timeless style,” said Holly Van Cleave, director of marketing and business development at SouthPark. “Johnnie-O offers a fresh, approachable take on menswear that our guests will appreciate, whether they’re discovering the brand for the first time or already fans of its laid-back polish.”
Shortly after opening, the store will host a seasonal trunk show featuring the brand’s Fall 2025 collection. Guests will have the opportunity to preview and pre-order new styles with one-on-one fittings and personalized service.
