Sole Play II will merge the power of fashion with the power of gaming through its gaming concept, celebrating E-Sports as a platform for community building by regularly hosting events for every level of gamer. The addition of the new store will also expand Sole Play ATL’s community impact by serving as a resource hub for local youth to learn about the potential careers in gaming.  “Whether it is coding, graphic design, or playing professionally, we want the community to know about the opportunities to help minimize the digital gap for minorities in the gaming space,” says CEO/Owner TJ Bennett. “With gaming being projected to be a 300+ billion-dollar industry by 2025, we can look forward to the many job opportunities this growth will bring.”

In addition to gaming, Sole Play II will invest in the lives of those in the community by partnering with Smooth-N-Groove to provide healthy food and beverage options.
