The Black Shops is a curated business directory designed to connect buyers with black-owned businesses. Established in 2024, the directory expands access to black businesses, giving consumers the opportunity to view detailed business profiles as a first step in the buying process.
The Black Shops is bringing Black businesses together in a centralized location where they can thrive, collaborate, and support one another.
As a business search engine, our goal is to make it easy for buyers that want to find and support black-owned businesses. We understand that those that support our Black businesses ultimately fuel a stronger Black community.
Collectively, black consumers in the U.S. have tremendous buying power, spending an estimated $1.6 trillion per year (source: CNBC, 2021). The mission of The Black Shops business directory is to provide a digital platform that showcases and elevates the U.S. black business community, and helps it reach its true economic potential.
We envision strong, thriving black-owned businesses. We will showcase and uplift these businesses in the digital space. As the businesses grow, they will create more jobs, and uplift our Black communities.
As more businesses sign on with The Black Shops, we will create scholarships and other programs to further strengthen our communities.
