Meet Black-owned Brands on GoodCarts

More than 3 million businesses in the U.S. are Black-owned, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau data. Nearly 60 percent of Black adults say supporting Black businesses is an effective strategy for helping to move Black families toward equality in the country. In an effort to help reach that goal, GoodCarts has partnered with Operation HOPE and their 1 Million Black Businesses initiative to ensure Black-owned ecommerce businesses are supported, promoted, amplified and surrounded by communities sharing resources. 

Our Black-owned business circle is dedicated to member ecommerce stores cross-promoting each other using post-checkout traffic. Shoppers wanting to “buy Black” and support Black-owned businesses discover new brands and get exclusive discounts. 

Our member stores highlight the diverse talent and entrepreneurial spirit in the Black community, providing a free platform for these businesses to connect with a wider audience.
