Layla Sewell, Founder and CEO, BOPs

Frustrated with limited options to support Black brands in person, Founder Layla Sewell created a shopping experience where Black Businesses are supported and Black Americans are celebrated in Columbia, South Carolina. BOPs is a retail store where you can find a wide variety of items that are made by Black creators and makers, from household cleaning products to health and beauty, home décor, and more.

BOPs is located inside the NoMa Warehouse located at 2222 Sumter St.
