What is 502 Black Business Week?

Introducing a visionary marketing concept by Tiandra Robinson in 2018, 502 Black Business Week aims to spotlight and promote some of Louisville's finest black-owned businesses.

Held during Juneteenth, symbolizing the end of slavery in the United States, this initiative encourages support for the featured businesses through enticing deals and promotions offered by the 502 businesses throughout the week.

The mission is to inclusively showcase as many black-owned businesses as possible, amplifying their exposure and fostering growth. Celebrating its 4th year, 502 Black Business Week featured over 100 businesses, garnering attention from various media outlets. Its success inspired the launch of its "little sister," 502 Black Eats Week, in 2020, which follows a similar format but focuses on promoting black-owned food-related businesses.
