One app for the restaurants, shops, salons, and services worth your dollar. No more digging through old threads and screenshots.
Free for shoppers and for business owners. No listing fees, no pay-to-rank.
Every listing is reviewed by a human before it goes live.
Made by the community, for the community — not an algorithm.
Starting in Dallas–Fort Worth, expanding city by city.
Finding a Black-owned barbershop, boutique, or brunch spot shouldn’t mean scrolling a 2020 Twitter thread or forty unrelated posts on Instagram. BLK OWND is a free app and platform that puts them all within reach.
For shoppers: search by category, or what you’re craving. Read real reviews, save favorites, get directions in no time.
For owners: claim a free profile, add your hours, photos, and booking links, and reach customers already looking for you.
Discovery, reviews, directions, and owner tools — designed around your city, not an ad auction.
Browse Black-owned restaurants, cafés, barbershops, boutiques, and salons near you. Filter by category to find spots you never knew were there.
Real ratings, photos, and recommendations from people in your community. Save your favorites and share the ones you love with friends.
Claim your free profile, list your services, set your hours, and connect with people who came looking for you. Track views and respond to reviews — no ad spend, no algorithm to fight.
Tap any listing for one-touch directions, phone, website, and socials. Planning a Saturday food run through a town or hunting a Black-owned dentist in your city, you're two taps from the door.
If you move through North Texas, this was built for the way you actually get around it. Early users get first access, first reviews, and early-supporter status.
After Dallas–Fort Worth, BLK OWND rolls out to Houston, Atlanta, Memphis, Chicago, and every city where Black-owned businesses deserve to be easy to find. Not live near you yet? Submit your business now and be first listed the day we arrive.

Every category — food and drink, beauty and grooming, health and wellness, retail, home and professional services, automotive, kids and family, and more.
They don't reliably identify Black-owned businesses, and older directories go stale. BLK OWND is purpose-built and human-verified, so what you see is real and current.
The full DFW metroplex at launch — Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Garland, Mesquite, Grand Prairie, McKinney, Mansfield, and Richardson — with more to come.
