Ken Haggerty has built up his clothing store, Agenda, into a premiere destination in the Houston Streetwear scene.Sitting in the complex on the corner of West main Street and Kirby Drive rests Agenda, a clothing store that specializes in upscale street wear. The store, known for specializing in denim, outerwear, and sneakers is frequented by celebrities like Sauce Walka, Rick Ross, Gervonta Davis and Don Toliver for their ability to obtain hot and hard to find clothing.
Running the three stores taught Haggerty a lesson he still applies in business today: put all your energy into one thing first and then branch out. He turned his sights toward his newly opened Galleria location. While he started at the location just selling clothes a friend suggested selling shoes and Haggerty quickly began to establish Agenda as a brand. It became a place to go to find hard to find clothing along with shoes making it a one stop shop.
While the pandemic didn’t stop sales in the store the overall success of Agenda eventually led to Haggerty and the Galleria parting ways. He was told by the mall that he needed to sign another lease containing a clause preventing him from selling one of his most profitable items – sneakers. As Houston gains more residents and attention from the outside world Haggerty keeps his eyes on the trends to make sure Agenda remains on the cutting edge of fashion. The rise in popularity of the city is making that process easier and easier for him as Houston continues to gain a foothold in the world of fashion.
