Akira celebrated six years in retail last week with Akira Carnivále. The event was at all retail stores on North Avenue and benefited Chicago Gateway Green. “I wanted to celebrate Akira's six successful years in the industry by collaborating with Chicago Gateway Green since it’s a local charity with the ultimate goal of beautifying this great city,” says Jon Cotay, co-owner of Akira. “This is something our company supports, and we love giving back to our community.” www.akirachicago.com
