CHANGING THE LANDSCAPE ONE ENTREPRENEUR AT A TIME The Buy Black Marketplace is our longest running initiative designed to support, celebrate, and elevate Black-owned businesses in Arizona. Since its launch in 2017, the marketplace has become a vital platform for entrepreneurs to showcase their products and services, connect with new customers, and gain critical business exposure in a vibrant, community-focused setting. Held regularly in high-traffic, culturally rich locations, the marketplace offers a dynamic mix of retail, food, health, art, and service-based vendors. The marketplace has hosted over 500 businesses and has helped generate over $2 million in income for local businesses and served as a launchpad for many brands to scale into permanent storefronts, online platforms, and regional opportunities. As part of the development process, vendors are given feedback on their setup, sales process, operations and access to resources. The support continues as they develop strategies to scale and sustainability. Previous partnerships include The City of Chandler, Phoenix Suns, Paypal, Desert Botanical Garden, Brophy High School, Downtown Phoenix, Carver Museum, Anthropologie, Lululemon, ASU, Roosevelt Row CDC, Arizona Informant and more.
