Finally, we limited the list to two businesses per metro area per category for geographic diversity. Then we selected these businesses using a combination of average rating and number of reviews. These businesses have also shown increases in average ratings and review counts in 2020 compared to 2019, or opened in and after January 2019. To determine this list, we selected businesses who have self-identified with the Black-owned attribute on Yelp, and who have been included in business collections with “Black-owned” or “Black owner” in the title. We’ve created a list of Black-owned businesses you can support across the beauty, home, and food and restaurants categories. Our hope is that you’ll discover new local favorites to support. Or Pressed Roots in Dallas, a luxury hair salon, who Yelp users love booking to treat their tresses. Businesses like Leah & Louise in Charlotte, NC, a new restaurant from James Beard-nominated chef Greg Collier, where Yelp users rave about their river chips and oyster sliders. This February, to celebrate Black History Month, we’ve compiled a list of highly rated and popular Black-owned businesses on our platform. In fact, searches for Black-owned businesses were up 2,400% in 2020, compared to 2019, and review mentions were up 232% for the same time period. Over the last year, we have seen people turn to Yelp to find and support Black-owned businesses in unprecedented numbers. Supporting local businesses has always been core to the mission of Yelp and of the millions of amazing businesses, there are also so many that are Black-owned. ![]()
