  3. Featured on @CLTBlackOwned - Week of August 3 Recap

Each week the creative team at @CLTBlackOwned — Maddy, Jeff, Ashley and Jeremy — highlights a different Black-owned business in Charlotte and the surrounding area. Our city has a wide community of Black-owned retailers, restauranteurs, service-providers, creatives, consultants and innovators that don’t always get the spotlight, and this group’s mission is to change that.

To help them advance their mission and spread the word, we’ll recap their selections regularly in The Biscuit. Read the list below of businesses highlighted during the week of August 3. Support these entrepreneurs if you can and help spread the word to your friends and family. These businesses should be on the radar of everyone in the QC.

You can also suggest any Black-owned businesses that @CLTBlackOwned should know about. And give them a follow on Instagram to stay in the loop on their daily business recommendations!


Week of August 3, 2020


CLT Soy Candle
Category: Artisan Goods

INSTAGRAM | WEBSITE

Choice Words from CLTBO: “Aaliyah created CLT Soy Candle this year because of her deep love (and multiple purchases) of candles. She decided to create her own candles and has since been making these all natural products made from 100% soy wax. Hand poured with love, these candles will bring a warm, cozy smell like no other into your home.”

704Horsemen
Category: Family Friendly Activity

INSTAGRAM | WEBSITE

Choice Words from CLTBO: “704 Horsemen host horseback riding lessons, trail rides, stable rides, birthday parties, and more! They are family owned and operated. Bingo, Jamarcus, and Poochie created their business to positively impact others by sharing their love of horses. In 2009, they initially started with four horses and rode with other cowboys in parades. After witnessing the happiness it brought to others they developed their business and now own twelve horses.”

During the shutdown phase of the pandemic, they served free meals to the community, doing whatever they could to lend a hand. Now back open (with special COVID hours), the place is back rocking and ready for you!”
