BLK OWND is the easiest way to discover and support Black-owned restaurants, shops, salons, and services in Dallas–Fort Worth. No more scrolling hashtags or screenshotting lists. One app. Every business. Right in your pocket.
100% free for shoppers and business owners
Verified Black-owned listings
Built by the community, for the community
Launching first in Dallas–Fort Worth
BLK OWND is a free mobile app and online directory that helps you find Black-owned businesses near you in Dallas, Fort Worth, and across the DFW metroplex. Search by neighborhood, category, or what you’re craving — then read real reviews, save favorites, and share the spots you love with friends.
We built BLK OWND because finding a Black-owned restaurant, barbershop, boutique, or service provider shouldn’t mean digging through a 2020 Twitter thread or scrolling past 40 unrelated posts on Instagram. Every Black-owned business in your city deserves to be easy to find. Every shopper who wants to buy Black deserves a directory that actually works.
For Shoppers: Discover Black-owned restaurants, salons, boutiques, fitness studios, and professional services within minutes of where you live. Filter by category, distance, or rating. Save your favorites. Leave reviews that actually help other people in your community.
For Business Owners: Get your business in front of customers who are already searching for what you offer. Listing on BLK OWND is 100% free — add your services, photos, hours, and direct links so customers can book, order, or visit without friction. Visibility matters, and we built BLK OWND to make sure yours doesn’t depend on the algorithm.
Our purpose is clear: strengthen communities, create opportunities, and make buying Black easier than ever.
Built for the way you shop, eat, and explore your city.
Find Black-owned restaurants, boutiques, barbershops, beauty salons, cafes, and more near you. Search by neighborhoods such as Oak Cliff, Bishop Arts, Deep Ellum, etc, browse by category to uncover spots you didn’t know were right around the corner.
See authentic ratings, reviews, and photos from people in your community. Save your favorites and share recommendations with friends.
Claim your free profile, list your services, upload photos, set your hours, and connect with customers who came looking for you. Track views, respond to reviews, and grow your customer base without paying for ads or fighting an algorithm that wasn’t built for you.
Tap any listing and get one-touch directions, phone numbers, websites, and social links. Whether you’re planning a Saturday food run through Oak Cliff or looking for a Black-owned dentist in Plano, you’re two taps from walking in the door.
Every business listed on BLK OWND is reviewed before it goes live. That means when you open the app, you’re seeing real Black-owned businesses — not outdated lists, not closed locations, not businesses that were never Black-owned to begin with.
The Easiest Way to Find Black-Owned Businesses
We’re creating more than an app — we’re building a movement that strengthens communities, grows local economies, and keeps dollars circulating where it matters most.

BLK OWND lists Black-owned businesses across every category: restaurants, cafes, bakeries, beauty and grooming, retail and boutiques, health and wellness, fitness, home services, professional services, real estate, automotive, kids and family, pet services, and more.
Yelp and Google Maps don’t reliably identify Black-owned businesses, and existing Black-owned business apps are often outdated or unverified. BLK OWND is purpose-built and human-verified — every business is reviewed before it goes live, so you can trust what you’re seeing.
BLK OWND is launching first across Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Garland, Mesquite, Grand Prairie, McKinney, Mansfield, and Richardson — the full DFW metroplex — with national rollout planned after launch.
