Akira Knows How to Party!
Moshpix: If you're talking about hometown retail success stories, Akira certainly needs to be in the conversation. There doesn't seem to be a neighborhood these days where you can't see the identifiable red awning. Well, that may be a stretch, but ever since a mismatched group of three University of Ilinois students started Akira seven years ago, it's been a runaway success. And everyone certaily knows that these are some folks who know how to throw a great party. Need some proof? Check out the festivities from "Retrospectacular" -- their 7th anniversary celebration.
