Meet Mac Willis

Today we’re excited to be connecting with Mac Willis again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Mac, always such a pleasure connecting with you and thank you for sharing your stories, insights and inspiring messages with our community. We’re looking forward to getting the download and what you have been up to since our last interview, but first can you briefly introduce yourself to folks who might have missed the prior conversation.
Name: Mac Willis

Brand: Young Fresh Clothing Company

Social Media Platforms: @youngfreshcc

Position: Owner/CEO

I am a creative genius, I take my God given abilities, creativities, and visions and manifest them into physical form.
What sets me apart and how I got to where I am today is simply based on my mindset, work ethic, and discipline, I love to win, and I love to create.
The biggest highlight of having my brand would be:I love the feeling that others get from supporting Young Fresh Clothing, the way our supporters smile and feel in each piece of clothing, and how they interact with us on our social media platforms. Seeing people across the state of Arkansas and even states across the nation wearing Young Fresh products warms my heart and lets me know the team and I are on the correct path.

Awesome, so we reached out because we wanted to hear all about what you have been up to since we last connected.
Since our last conversation and magazine article, Young Fresh has been focused on leveling up every aspect of our business. Our main focus for the last couple of years has been increasing the size of the Young Fresh Royal Family [consumer base] and online presence. November 2023, we opened a Kiosk Store Front in McCain Mall in North Little Rock, AR. Our consumer base grew 600%, our brand products have spread all across the state of Arkansas, and across the United States.
After closing the store a year later, we were able to see and feel the growth of the Young Fresh Royal Family during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, when we hit a new record for online orders. One of our biggest moments to date, we have to give a special shot out and thank you to Hip Mogul Rick Ross for wearing a sweatshirt from our 2021 Spring Collection,while on stage during one of his performances in Tampa, FL.
The next few chapters of our brand include being integrated vertically. Meaning we want to own and operate every aspect of our operation from A to Z. We want to produce, ship out, and possibly deliver all of our products. Enlarging our txt/email database with thousands to millions of active members of the Young Fresh Royal Family is a huge focus. Philanthropy is another focus for the future of our brand. We want to do back to school drives, school events, provide food & shelter to those in need, and plenty of things of that magnitude.

We have now arrived at one of our favorite parts of the interview – the lightning round. We’ll ask you a few quick questions to give us all some fun insights about you.

What do you want people to remember about you and your brand? What are some of things that you feel are most important, unique, special, etc?
What I would love for people to remember about me and my brand would be the intangible feeling of upliftment and inspiration that we provide through quality clothing. Our Brand Mission statement is to “Embrace Your Royalty”, meaning to Embrace your God given gifts, and use your gifts to inspire/motivate others, and make the world a greater place.
One thing that is very unique about our brand that everyone loves are the color schemes and quality we assemble with our clothing releases. One of the most important and most valued things about our brand would be how we truly are the Young Fresh Royal Family, meaning no matter your race, skin color, or ethnicity, if you support the Young Fresh Brand, you are a Queen or King of the Young Fresh Royal Family.
