Jared Gold, Retailer
Dark Dynamite, the Salt Lake City–based parent company of Jared Gold’s Black Chandelier brand, announced plans to open a seasonal Black Chandelier Renegade Retail boutique in the Trolley Square Mall in Salt Lake City. The store, set to open at the end of November, will carry Black Chandelier men’s and women’s apparel, Pink Chandelier childrenswear, home wares, stationery, and a “stocking-stuffer vending machine,” according to the company. The store will remain open though January, when nearby Park City, Utah, will host the Sundance Film Festival. During the season, Gold will present weekly live-music events and cabaret performances in the store, and Dark Dynamite plans to promote the store in the local and national press. Earlier this year, publicly traded Dark Dynamite, then called NCI Holdings, acquired the Black Chandelier brand. Designer and founder Gold relocated from Los Angeles to Utah to continue to oversee the company.
