Locals are able to use the new online platform to browse through the growing statewide directory and find Black-owned businesses in the area to patronize and support. Some of the businesses currently listed are dessert companies, auto repair services, insurance companies, catering, skincare, professional services, and more.
Minority business owners are also able to register their business on the platform so they can get featured with the current listings for additional exposure.
When asked what inspired him to build ABB, Williams states, “I wanted to create a centralized hub to spotlight black-owned businesses. Black businesses never had a platform that highlights them here in Arkansas. We want to connect businesses to buyers and overall keep the community connected.”
