“This partnership is fundamental to what we’re trying to build here in Deer District,” said Andy Inman, NCG Hospitality’s Chief Development Officer, “Working with the AntetokounBros team to develop their first store in the great city of Milwaukee will attract basketball fans to Deer District and offer a unique shopping experience for Milwaukeeans. The AntetokounBros brand story is a perfect complement to the story of the Trade Hotel and our goal to build connections throughout Deer District.”
Occupying 1,400 square feet of The Trade’s first floor, AntetokounBros will feature The Trade’s signature industrial design elements in combination with audio-visual displays to enhance customers’ high-energy shopping experience. As the second AntetokounBros store to open its doors and the first in the United States, the location in The Trade will offer apparel, accessories, gifts and other exclusive items. As Deer District’s premier hotel, The Trade is honored to partner with the AntetokounBros team.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo said, “This is a great opportunity to connect with our fans in Milwaukee and welcome them into the family. We are all bros!”
Speaking on behalf of Ante, Inc., President and CEO Dylan Wondra added, “This is an excellent opportunity for our team. Opening our first U.S.-based store right in the heart of Deer District is incredibly fitting as Milwaukee is not only home to the Bucks but is a second home to Giannis and family.
