TRUSSVILLE — A new retailer is headed to downtown Trussville, according to a statement from released Wednesday afternoon, and they plan to locate in the heart of the revitalized central business district.
The retail sports boutique, Bandwagon, will build a new facility on the vacant lot behind the brick clock plaza at the corner of North Chalkville Road and Main Street. The property fronts North Chalkville Road.
“We are thrilled to be bringing Bandwagon to Trussville,” owner David Knight said of the new location. “We’ve been working on this opportunity for over a year, and we couldn’t be more excited to make this announcement!”

Bandwagon’s commitment to community, schools, and athletics will continue to enhance our growth here in Trussville.”
