What better way to shop than local boutiques that are in the spirit of celebrating Beyoncé’s visit to Queen City? (Sorry, you lose on this one, Shein.)
Beyoncé is also helping local businesses throughout her Renaissance tour by launching the BeyGOOD Foundation Black Parade route, and Charlotte is one of the cities that’s on the list.
