Philanthropic Retailer BoxLunch Opens At Hamilton Place

  • Monday, May 22, 2017

BoxLunch, a pop culture gift store with a cause, announces that it will open its newest location in Chattanooga on Wednesday at Hamilton Place.

BoxLunch offers a curated selection of the world’s most popular licensed shirts, accessories, collectibles, beauty, home goods and gift and novelty merchandise.

The new store will celebrate its grand opening weekend, Saturday-Sunday 12-4 p.m., with live music from KISS FM103.7, trivia games and in-store giveaways and promotions. 

To fulfill its civic mission of “Get Some. Give Back”, BoxLunch will donate one meal* to Feeding America for every $10 spent in-store or online. BoxLunch supports national hunger-relief efforts as well as local efforts through Feeding America’s nationwide network of food banks, including the Chattanooga Area Food Bank, which will directly receive a percentage of the donations raised at the Hamilton Place BoxLunch store.  

“We are thrilled to bring BoxLunch to the Chattanooga community," said Robert Thomsen, v0ice president, general manager of Merchandising and Marketing, BoxLunch.  "Our mission is simple, sell the best product and use our business to inspire and implement solutions to help fight the hunger crisis on both a local and national level." 

“BoxLunch retail storefronts across the country provide a way for the general public to be exposed to hunger relief and offer a means for their customers to easily give back through their purchases," said Nancy Curby, senior vice president of Corporate Partnerships and Operations, Feeding America.  "This support has already translated into more than six million meals donated to provide hope to families facing hunger in the United States and we are honored to have been selected as their charity of choice."
