Evereve, Incorporated (styled as "EVEREVE" in branding materials) is an American fashion retailer specializing in contemporary women's clothing, shoes, and accessories. Headquartered in Edina, Minnesota, the company operates over 100 retail stores across the United States, an e-commerce platform, and a subscription styling service known as Trendsend.
History
Evereve was founded in 2004 by Megan and Mike Tamte in Edina, Minnesota. Inspired by Megan Tamte’s experience as a young mother struggling to find fashionable, age-appropriate clothing, the couple opened their first boutique under the name Hot Mama.[1] In 2014, the company rebranded as Evereve to broaden its appeal beyond mothers and to support national growth.[2]
Despite widespread closures in retail, Evereve grew steadily, achieving profitability and expanding its store base.[3] By 2023, it operated over 100 locations across more than 30 U.S. states.
Business Model
Evereve’s retail model focuses on personalized styling services delivered through boutique-sized stores, typically 2,500–4,000 sq. ft., and an emphasis on community-oriented, relationship-based retailing.[4]
The company’s product mix includes over 150 third-party brands as well as its own private-label EVEREVE Collection, which launched in 2021 and includes tops, denim, and seasonal essentials.[5] In 2023, Evereve became an equity owner in men's retailer Jaxen Grey,[6]
Digital and Trendsend
In 2014, Evereve launched Trendsend, a subscription-based personal styling service that delivers curated outfits to customers' homes.[7] The service extends the in-store styling model to digital customers and contributed significantly to e-commerce growth.
In 2021, the company introduced EVEREVE TV, a video styling and livestream platform that boosted conversion rates and further blended online content with retail engagement.[7]
Culture and Headquarters
The company’s headquarters in Edina houses its corporate operations, styling and design teams, and warehouse facilities. Designed to reflect the company’s focus on collaboration and creativity, the space was featured in Twin Cities Business for its workplace innovation.[8]
Evereve emphasizes employee empowerment and internal development. Its stores are staffed with stylists trained to foster long-term relationships and emphasize community involvement.
Leadership
Megan Tamte serves as co-founder and co-CEO, recognized nationally for her leadership and customer-first vision. She was named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2013 Award winner in the Upper Midwest, a Woman of Influence by Success Magazine in 2022 and profiled by publications such as The Robin Report and Star Tribune.[9][10][11][12][13]
Mike Tamte, co-founder and co-CEO, oversees operations and strategic planning. The couple has been recognized in Twin Cities Business’ TCB 100 People to Know.[14]
Philanthropy
Evereve operates a charitable program known as Fashion Fundraisers, which partners with local schools and nonprofits to donate a portion of sales to community organizations. As of 2025, Evereve has donated more than $15 million to charities across the country.
