Editor’s note: The staff at Weelunk recognizes that our personal networks are limited, and likely to miss some of the important small businesses active in the Black community. We hope this list can grow and evolve. If you are or know of a Black-owned business we have missed, please email weelunk@weelunk.com.
As our community continues to support our Black neighbors by condemning institutional racism and advocating for positive change, many wonder how they can do more. One way is to support small businesses owned by persons of color. Weelunk has compiled a list of Black-owned businesses ranging from hair salons to construction companies that you can support in the Wheeling area.
