Agenda Houston, the city's premiere destination for collectable sneakers and designer streetwear, is excited to announce a groundbreaking initiative by its CEO, Ken Haggerty. Starting on June 6, 2023, Haggerty will be hosting a free monthly entrepreneur workshop called "What's Your Agenda?" at the Agenda Houston flagship store located at 3300 Kirby Drive in Houston, Texas!
"What's Your Agenda?" is a unique opportunity for aspiring and current entrepreneurs to gain valuable insights, connections, ideas, and business information directly from CEO Ken Haggerty himself. Haggerty, a trailblazing entrepreneur who built today’s cutting-edge Agenda Houston brand from a streetwear side hustle, will be sharing his extensive business experience and industry expertise to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs in Houston.
The first workshop will take place on Tuesday, June 6, 2023, at 7:00pm at Agenda Houston’s Upper Kirby location and will be hosted both in person and via live stream @agendahouston. Limited space will be available for individuals who wish to attend the event in person to ensure an intimate and engaging experience for attendees.
"I’m really excited to introduce 'What's Your Agenda' as a platform for entrepreneurs to learn, connect, and grow," said Ken Haggerty, CEO of Agenda Houston. "I get a lot of questions about business and fashion, like how I got started, where I get my inventory, etc. Through this series, I hope to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to succeed in their entrepreneurial endeavors, whether they’re just starting or already running a business. It’s a cool way to give back and help others pursue their dreams.”
Haggerty’s trailblazing Agenda Houston brand has become the go-to destination for the city's most sought-after shoe collabs, early releases, coveted retro sneaker finds, and an extensive inventory of denim wear, hoodies, outerwear, shirts, backpacks, hats and accessories from today’s most influential designers and emerging streetwear stylists! With over 6,000 pairs of kicks at the new Kirby location, Agenda Houston continues to set the standard for sneaker enthusiasts and fashion-forward individuals.
Haggerty, named one of Houston's 31 most fascinating and viral celebrities of 2022 by the Houston Chronicle, built his Agenda brand from humble beginnings. The Baytown, Texas native only owned two pairs of shoes in high school despite a life-long love affair with sneakers that started as a kid. At age 16, he got a job at Footlocker and started collecting and reselling the industry’s hottest sneakers, with hopes of one day working for Nike. He spent 10 years working at BASF, while selling streetwear to friends out of his house as a side hustle, before launching his first retail clothing store in 2016.
Today, Haggerty owns two Agenda Houston stores; one on the third floor of the Galleria Mall next to Saks Fifth Avenue, and the new 3,870 sq ft flagship store at The Shops at Arrive Upper Kirby. His styling expertise and ability to build relationships with the movers and shakers of the hip-hop, sneaker, and streetwear communities earned Agenda a reputation as a stand-out brand, drawing celebrity clients, sneakerheads, and the Houston community to his stores for cutting-edge fashions and personal service.
Attendees at “What’s Your Agenda?”, can expect an engaging and interactive session that combines Ken Haggerty's personal experiences with expert advice, guest speakers, and strategies for success. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, network with like-minded individuals, and gain valuable mentorship from one of Houston's most influential entrepreneurs!
