Dr. Benjamin Chavis Signs On To Head The HipHopSodaShop
Published: Monday - June 18, 2007

Social activist Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis has been hired on to head a new hip-hop concept, called the HipHopSodaShop, launching in St. Petersburg, Florida.

According to the Miami Herald, Chavis -- co-founder of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network with Russell Simmons -- has taken over as the chief executive of H3 Enterprises, the parent of HipHopSodaShop, which plans to open its first store of a worldwide chain in St. Petersburg later this year.

The chain of stores hope to bring together hip-hop music, gaming and healthy food with an ethos of community investment. According to the paper, Chavis said hundreds of thousand dollars will be invested in the location, but didn't specify an exact number.

Pitching itself as the first publicly traded hip-hop company, H3 is planning to use its HipHopSodaShop stores as a vehicle to promote sound business, teach investment to hip-hop youth and incorporate social responsibility into what Chavis describes as "a unique business concept."

"This is a model development," Chavis told the Miami Herald. "We hope the rest of corporate America will look at this."

The HipHopSodaShop was formed by 25-year-old Brian Peters and a partner. Although they have garnered national attention with their model, they have yet to open a store.

After the initial launch of the Florida store, they plan to open the next location in Harlem, and then follow with ones in Jamaica, South Africa and the United Kingdom, among other locales.
