Altar’d State - Here to Stand Out for Good

Stand Out For Good, Inc., is a purpose-driven, faith-based retail company based in Knoxville, Tennessee. It operates as the parent company for several lifestyle and fashion brands, most notably the women's retailer Altar'd State.

 
 

The Core Mission

Altar’d State was built on more than just beautiful clothing—it was built on purpose, heart, and a desire to make a meaningful difference. At the core, their mission is to Stand Out for Good by lifting others up, giving back generously, and creating spaces where women feel confident, beautiful, and celebrated for exactly who they are.

Everything they do, from the warm way their team welcomes guests to the causes and communities they support, is intentionally rooted in that mission. It's woven into every detail of each store, every collection designed, and every moment of service. Because, fashion is just the beginning—the goal here is to inspire kindness, spread hope, and be a light in the world.

Designing for a brand as beloved and mission-led as Altar'd State required something more than just creativity; it demanded clarity, alignment, and trust. From day one, the SOFG design team collaborating with Chute Gerdeman, moved toward the goal of translating Altar'd State's values into a physical space that welcomes, inspires, and gives back. That balance, between emotional connection and performance, is never easy.

More than a store, Easton is a space designed to inspire, uplift, and celebrate the beauty in every moment. Whether you’re shopping for your next event or simply treating yourself, we’ve created a place where you can feel your best, inside and out.

The exterior is a true work of art, featuring a custom 3D-printed facade that moves with light and shadow, inspired by the gentle flow of fabric and water. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and romantic, with details drawn from the worlds of boutique hospitality and graceful home design.

Shopping here feels like stepping into your dream closet! As you explore, you’ll find specialty boutiques around the perimeter, each offering a curated selection to inspire your personal style, while the center showcases our favorite beauty, jewelry, and accessory collections

And when it’s time to try things on? You’re in for a treat. With 22 beautifully appointed fitting rooms and a calming lounge space called the Sanctuary, every part of the experience is designed to make you feel seen, celebrated, and at peace. Thoughtfully furnished with pieces from Altar’d State Home, the space feels more like a cozy retreat than a dressing room—inviting, elegant, and made to inspire.

Utilizing a collaborative effort in developing three new Altar’d State stores located at Easton Town Center in Columbus, OH, Tyson’s Corner, VA and International Plaza in Tampa, FL, was created in partnership with the internal SOFG design team and Chute Gerdeman. Fred Olivieri Construction and Commercial Contractors, Inc., were the general contractors. The KCI Works team fabricated the custom millwork at the cash wrap, back counter, back wrap cabinetry, library units, and components of the Sanctuary area.
