The video tells the inspiring story of Cassaba Outlet, a popular clothing store chain in the Star Citizen universe that offers stylish and affordable fashion across the UEE. Founded by siblings Jean and Joel Pelano, Cassaba’s origins trace back to their childhood spent traveling the galaxy aboard their family’s freelancer ship. Jean’s fascination with the subtle cultural differences in clothing across planets and Joel’s entrepreneurial spirit led them to start buying and reselling unique items, gradually turning their small trading venture into a thriving business.
The Pelano family faced challenges, especially when their father Atley fell ill with a rare disease, prompting them to settle temporarily on the planet Liar. To support the family, Jean and Joel shifted their business model from selling individual items to buying remnant stock in bulk from small to medium clothing manufacturers. This change allowed them to offer stylish yet affordable clothes in various landing zones, quickly gaining popularity and leading to the opening of the first Cassaba store in 2843, named after the mythical city their mother had imagined for Joel as a child.
As Cassaba grew, Joel optimized the supply chain by hiring haulers and establishing interlocking shipping routes, which reduced costs and allowed the store to undercut competitors. The brand expanded to multiple locations, including leasing storefronts near major landing zones, and began partnering with larger clothing manufacturers to keep shelves stocked. Despite tensions between the siblings over business decisions, including the acquisition of a competitor, Cassaba continued to thrive and became a recognized name throughout the UEE.
In 2883, Cassaba merged with the JCO group, adopting the Cassaba Outlet brand and significantly expanding its reach to nearly every UEE system. Joel remained at the helm as CEO, guiding the company to become a household name for affordable, fashionable clothing. The story of Cassaba Outlet is celebrated as a case study in business schools, showcasing how vision, adaptability, and savvy entrepreneurship can transform a small family venture into a galactic empire.
