The Inner Circle: an exclusive evening built on connection and care
A unique gathering
On Friday, the 6th of February, the newly opened Kentucky Store in Opglabbeek welcomed “The Inner Circle”: an exclusive gathering for a select group of international retail partners. This was not a traditional networking event centred on quick introductions and business card exchanges, but a full day and evening designed to inspire, connect and make every guest feel truly at home.
A carefully chosen moment with the right people
54 partners from 25 countries were invited — long-time supporters who play an important role within the international Kentucky community. The timing was deliberate, taking place the day before Spoga in Cologne, a leading trade fair. Rather than focusing solely on the fair, Kentucky created its own moment: one where partners could experience the brand in a personal, immersive and memorable way.
Hospitality in every detail
From the warm welcome to the heartfelt farewell, every detail reflected Kentucky’s ethos of care and attention. Guests were guided through a day designed for connection, inspiration and enjoyment, ensuring a carefree and memorable experience.
Kentucky Plaza at Opglabbeek: the centre of inspiration
The Opglabbeek store - with its distinctive rounded plaza - served as the heart of the day, providing an inviting space that encouraged conversation, collaboration and genuine engagement. Here, our partners could not only see our brands but truly experience them: building stronger connections and leaving with lasting memories.
