About Us
“I’ve been to Asian supermarkets where over 90% of the products on the shelves were Asian owned products. I’ve been to Hispanic supermarkets and noticed the same, all their products were produced by their own. Then, I noticed my people, African Americans who barely have a supermarket nationally, not have any products on the shelf created by us. I then made a commitment to help our community produce all the products we need, to be the owners of the products we use, and to sell to the world.”
