Just Blaze has opened a 1,700-square-foot store on Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix. This new shop is the second location for the retailer, which first launched in the valley in 2005.
Why it matters
The store serves as a satellite expansion for the business while introducing a dedicated art supply retailer to the Roosevelt Row area for the first time in over a decade. The owner aims to increase the availability of art resources within the local community.
The new site occupies 1,700 square feet of space compared to the 5,500 square foot flagship location on Camelback Road. More than 70 artists are participating in the inaugural exhibition.

Just Blaze
This is an urban art supply and streetwear retailer that has operated in the Phoenix valley since 2005.
