Uplifting black businesses
At Entering Pawtucket, we believe that everyone deserves a supportive community where they can thrive and achieve their goals. Whether you are a newcomer to the area or have lived here your whole life, we welcome you. The same goes for the business community.
The Black-owned businesses impacted by Target's misguided decision need our support more than ever. As a community, it’s crucial for us to unite during this time. The assignment is clear: If you're inclined to, please support Black-owned, minority-owned and small businesses whenever you can. In times such as this, we must be the shining light that drives out darkness.
Below is a list of Black-owned brands available at Target. Please make an effort to visit their websites and shop directly from them whenever possible. Thank you for visiting Entering Pawtucket and for your support.
