MEET THE OWNERS
JOHN & JENNAE PETERSEN
We're originally from the U.S. Virgin Islands, but we've been in metro Atlanta for the better part of the last two decades. And every time we left, we kept finding our way back. We got married here. Our daughters were born here. We've suffered through huge trials and had our biggest wins here. This is our home.
85 North is our way of giving something back to the place that has given so much to us. Our way of paying homage to everything we love about da ATL. The music was our first connection to the city and the culture. This is our contribution to it. If you love Atlanta as much as we do, we hope you'll check out our collection and rep A-Town witcho chest!
