Support Black-Owned Businesses
The Downtown Long Beach Alliance is committed to celebrating, recognizing, and supporting the Black-owned businesses of Downtown Long Beach. We encourage the community to visit, shop with, and source their services from these diverse and talented businesses. Use the interactive map below to explore the Black-owned businesses of DTLB, view their websites and hours, peruse different types of services, and learn their stories.
If you know of a business that should be included on this map, please email Michael Berman at michaelb@dlba.org.
