Black Owned in Rochester Weekly Newsletter

Good Day Rochester!

Happy Thursday! Whew chile! It has been a week! I’ve had my head down updating the listings on the site with the details. However due to some businesses closing since the last major update there will be fewer businesses on the directory right now. I know new businesses are being added daily so in no time we’ll be back above 400 again! But this needs to serve as a reminder that we’re not new to shopping Black owned, we’re true to shopping Black owned — often!

So check out the site → blackownedinrochester.com find a business you’ve been to → leave a review! The links to the reviews will be shared on social media to help us spread the word!
If a business you’ve been to isn’t on the directory reply to this email. I’ll reach out to invite them to add their business!

[business owners: be sure to claim your business on the site.
If there’s no green check next to it, it isn’t claimed by you!]

Thanks for being here!
