Black-owned businesses in Coral Springs to support during Black History Month
As Black History Month begins, communities across the United States are celebrating the many contributions that Black people have made to society and culture. That includes countless additions to health, wellness, food and finance — including in Coral Springs.
South Florida’s Black entrepreneurs have made some of the greatest strides in the nation when it comes to starting new companies. Nearly 4,000 employer businesses were added to the tri-county area from 2017 to 2022, making the region second in the nation for Black business growth, according to the Brookings Institute.
Plus, shopping from businesses in Coral Springs creates benefits for the local economy. According to ongoing research by the American Independent Business Alliance and Civic Economics, small retailers send over half of the money they make back into the local economy, compared to 13.6% recirculated by chains such as Walmart or Target.
