Soul Center
Though we invented the title of “Commun-trepreneurs” (a rather clever blend of community and entrepreneurs), Nick and Kari from Soul Center are truly community advocates. 

After three years in their old space, a big open warehouse off Country Club, they were excited to open their doors at 130 W. Main St on February 22, 2020. “Mesa has always been home,” Nick says. “We both grew up in Mesa, it has a special place in our hearts. But downtown has completely transformed – and we wanted to be a part of that transformation.” 

Community is what Soul Center is all about. Nick and Kari live by their vision: to have a place where people can come to support each other - community members, merchants, artisans, creators, practitioners - to make a community connection.
