- The only Black-owned grocery store in the City of Detroit has officially opened its doors with the mission to help people get healthy. It's called Neighborhood Grocery, and it's a liquor store that was turned into a health food shop on the corner of Essex and Manistique in Detroit's Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood.
I think this is great! I hope people are thankful for the opportunity and don’t destroy it
Rolmfao, wishful thinking, but the criminals will destroy it. This man is brave and I wish him the best of luck.
@@bearrally888 I came here to say that, but I pray we're both wrong.
Need more stores like this not liquor stores. God. bless the towns in neighborhoods you live in all across America
This young man should be VERY proud of himself.....it’s a WIN/WIN for everyone!👏👏🤩 BLESSINGS for a successful future!😎❤️
Two months ago I was in Detroit and I had to go outside of the city for groceries this is much needed and I hope the people appreciate it and support it
There was a black owned ice cream shop in San Francisco and the hood didn't spare him... Robbed his place 2x, and stuck their fingers in all the ice cream the second time they robbed him.
Patrons, over half non-black, collected money for him to stay open after the 1st robbery but he ended up closing shop after the 2nd.
And you guessed it. The people who robbed him were black.
I also decided not to relocate to Detroit, MI their this summer as I planned. 🏡.
Choosing somewhere else and I love this city. ❎ 🚜 🌽
Although I appreciate this Black owned business. We do have plenty of grocery stores in Detroit. You tried it! 😂
May God and his Angels watch over him and protect him from any danger No weapon formed against him should prosper.
Amen.
Amen 🙏🏾
I hope the thieves dont close this place down too
GOD PLEASE PROTECT HIM!
🙏🏾
True prayer 🙏
Yeah he’s most def going to need it especially with how shameless theives have been getting with stealing things from stores.
May people respect him as much as he respects them. No stealing from him. Behave intelligently. Thank you!
Which god...Zeus? 🤔
How does being black owned stop people from robbing the place? The robbers don't care about that. Do they have protection from the mafia or something?
Thieves have no respect for anyone - much less themselves. They don't care if you are black or yellow or red or white. All they want is your money without having to earn it the respectable way. I hope this hard working visionary is never abused, taken advantaged of, or robbed - especially by people of color. And I say "especially," because all the videos show a near 100% of mob thefts or even single thefts in black neighborhoods are committed by blacks too lazy, stupid or evil to work. If that happens, if they abuse this good man who is doing good for his community out of compassion and has the intelligence, fortitude and vision to make a difference, then I hope those thieves who would rob from him end up starving to death - because they would have robbed people of their honest, hard and dignified labor. Equity doesn't mean a thing to people who just want but don't want to work for it. May this young man be strong as a mountain, and indomitable.
It doesn’t. They will be the ones to destroy it.
I grew up in that neighborhood so I’m going to definitely go visit this new store.
Congratulations! 🎊
😂
Please keep him in business!!
I’m from Detroit, born in ‘56 and raised there until I left for the military in ‘75. My favorite house was on Cardoni St. @Rosedale. We had a black grocery store and a black candy store. I still remember the North End as if it was yesterday. I miss the old days.
U gotta go thru your life story just give big dawg his props.

So proud of this brother and community
"This is OUR community!" Yeah, it's your community that shut down the other grocery stores. I hope it doesn't happen to this one, because then who will you blame?

I grew up in the impoverished part of town. We had these small grocery stores all over the neighborhoods. They are all gone now except for one, it's called Lesman's. Times were good back then but after the civil unrests of the late 60's then things really started changing. Here we are 55 years later trying to do it all over again. btw Good for this guy and his store, we need thousands more like it.
Forced integration with them folk ruined everything.
RESPECT.
This is how communities build up strong.
God bless him and his community.
All around America more black brothers and sisters should do the same thing just like this brother instead of spending millions on jewelry, and vehicles.
Their website says they're crowdfunded so I guess that helps offset the cost of theft. It's basically a charity.
Best of luck to this business owner. He is providing a much needed service to his community ❤
He will be driven out by thieves I'm afraid
Eff you and your negative attitude.
Is it really food insecurity or are people too lazy to run a home and cook and plan meals? Bring back Mother's!
Congratulations, young man. Hope your store flourishes, the neighbors support and help protect you, and any criminal element you may have to face respects the GOOD you are doing for the folks who live in your neighborhood. Does my heart GOOD to see...!!!
I also applaud the man who is the driving force who dared to provide a a much-needed resource. From what I can tell, the products available are unattractive to the casual shoplifter and organized shoplifting "sellers". I think the high concrete steps may help to deter thefts as thugs may "trip" over their feet as they are running out with stolen goods while being chased by concerned members of the community.
I wish him all the best!!!
Wonderful I hope the srore owner does not take advantage of these people and keep the prices low as can be...I do not believe we should have black white stores but if it help the black people so be it God Bless us all...
My prayer is that the community embraces the store and the thieves stay away.
if customer service is not good, I ain't coming. Don't care if you black owned or not!
Who cares 🤡
That makes sense. Good job and We wish all of the folks new found successes with it. TAKE CARE OF IT 👍 & Congratulations!
This is not the first black-owned market in Detroit - do your homework news people. Call the Michigan Chronicle for information.
This is how black people should be moving … starting businesses …. Building real communities
They do in Memphis.
I"m proud of the young man, but I have concerns that the community will not allow him to succeed.
This is same community who robbed the previous store empty and burned it to the ground. I applaud this man though and really want him to succeed. God bless him and the USA. 🇺🇸
First black owned grocery store in Detroit???? Really 🤔
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 WE NEEDING more of these in ALL black communities & BLACK OWNERS 🖤🖤❤️❤️
Black Wall Street
We in Memphis have a black own grocery store. He own 8 Save A Lots. Its been here for 20 years. Parents own it first now he run them.
What's the name of the black owned grocery store in Memphis?
@@ashonlewis9353 Save- A -Lot been here for over 20years. A lot of black people here go there and don't know it is owned by a black young man. He's in his late 40. His parents started it in the 80's
. Black people are too busy with foolishness to know anything. Also we have black lady that owes 5 Subways here in Memphis. There's a lot of black business here in Memphis they move very silent here. That's the way to keep your black business. We have black people here that have four or five chicken restaurants. There are two coffee houses owned by black people.
@@ashonlewis9353I'm just seeing this tonight (Save a lots)
To make the hood healthy again 😂😂😂 we got to do better
See how he likes it when it's looted and burned.
Not all want to be rapers or gangsters
It's plenty of store like this in Memphis
God bless you
Keep being positive and showing love remember put Lord and savior first He will never leave you hanging please believe me 😘😁🥳🥳🥳
From a proud Detroit city citizen Belinda Loyd kisses & hugs for His Glory
Congratulations thank you. Emmanuel God is with you Isaiah 7:14 ❤️🙏🏾
This is sad that it's a headline these days because I have to imagine that Detroit had to have had some staple mom and pops back in the day. God bless this man on his journey I hope he flourishes.
yup, next up black man who has never been to jail
They did before they were forced to integrate with the colonizing Europeans. De-segregation is a joke.
Any thoughts about reducing the USA diet of 80% highly refined garbage or is this just another empowered businessman giving people what kills them with diabetes and obesity?
Proud of this young man God bless 🙌😊
This Is not Detroit's first black grocery store. Please do better....👊🏾💯😎
To build a community you need the least amount of brothers possible. If not they will steal till you go out of business!
Now rappers take notes … you guys makes millions of dollars … generate businesses Create jobs … for the young folks that are dying in the streets …. Rap about opening banks schools hospitals mental clinics gardens stores …. Barber shops … clothing store … wear suits or nice clothes .. stay groomed … speak with intelligence .. you can still make music and rap .. go to this brother store help him get publicity .. we can do moves like this daily ..
if you are truly in the “hood”, good luck. maybe being the approved culture will help. most hoods cant handle paying for stuff, not destroying stuff, wearing clothes, and not be all loud
payday loans and liquor store are about all that can stay in business
As much as folk use social media..this should be all over the social media waves...ya know what I mean
NO STEALING FROM OURSELVES!!
FIND YOUR NEXT NEIGHBORHOOD MEMBER WHO WILL OPEN UP A SECOND NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE AND CONTINUE ON AROUND THE WORLD.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE!!
And be the first blk man to open up a grocery store on Mars.
Such an amazing person. I love that he had a vision and didn’t give up. And the lady who talked about needing an onion or tomato really reminded me of the community corner store my mom would send me to in downtown Atlanta when I was growing up.
Seems racist but OK.
How???
Blacks are the most racist people in America
@@AB-dl1hzcan you imagine someone saying this the first white owned grocery store?
@@victorreznof no because white people always have own stores and black people couldn't and weren't even allowed in some stores so first black owned is just showing progress and achievement nothing at all racist about it unless they say white people can't shop there even though it's a hard black neighborhood anyways
Well that would be all the groceries stores 🏬 . White, Asian, Mexican owned in black communities.
Fabulous all the best for the future.
Proud of this Brother salute 2 him and the community for supporting him, blessings 🙏.
This young man is amazing!
Hallelujah 🙏
Excellent work brother. Black Power. Everyone in that region needs to support. Drive 5, 10, 15 miles to him . B1
Is Black power an electricity company? Lol
It’s Detroit, he’ll be closed in a year . 😢
Its pretty sad that a black owned grocery store in a black neighborhood is such a big deal.
Finally too many black owned barbershops, i guess.
Nall this is what this news says it plenty in the south
Congratulations Brother man
For us by us doesn’t work. Look at Gary
Beautiful❤. Assisting the black family (Grants) to own businesses such as this in OUR OWN communities could also be a form of reparations for ADOS/FBA.
Gotta watch out for those Thieves 💯
What’s so hard to understand is that it seems so easy for any other groups to own businesses in a 75% Black city but hella hard for Black residents to do the same. There should be more Black own essential service businesses within the city and a move to make it equal. Proud of this young man.
Easy? His OWN RACE will rob them and every other race LEFT or is LEAVING cities because of ghetto black Americans in our cities. There is NOTHING easy about that. Black Americans ruin EVERYTHING in USA. Truly everything!
It's due to the high theft. That's why businesses are leaving black neighborhoods.
As for starting a business, low income blacks are poor savers relative to other minority groups, especially as compared to immigrants, who tend to pool their money together and have their children working 6-7 days a week at their shops.

@sftita, Your ignorance is astounding. Just like White stores closed, because Walmart pushed them out.
ELOHIM Righteous Judgment Is Upon America The Wicked!!!
80% of detroiters can't even get a cell phone in their name. And the ones that can they don't aim for a liquor store as the way of success in life. They aim for bigger things. Only black people crying is the EBT black people.
@@sftita I don’t know what stats you looking at but Detroit had more thriving Blk business in Detroit in the 60s than what exists today. I’m hearing less incentives are given.
Best of luck🎉
I ❤️ It.........
guess hes got ton of customers since target walmart and other major box stores left lol....
Many blessings to you brother. I pray for your success!
They will be out of business in less than a year. Theft is destructive .
They are self destructive
🙏🏾
AMEN ❤❤❤❤
His shoplifting rate is a mere 70%!
Suburbanite hater
🤣🤣🤣, i give it 1 year
Like your mom😂🦨
@@ryeguy4449I give you one year😂😂👍🏿
@@bobby12348 a year longer than ur dad was around pookie 🙊🤣🤣.
I’m so happy!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Imma definitely be road tripping and stopping by 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊
Yay way to go young man..
I hope he can maintain...
🤷🏾♂️ Why no one helping this guy? Nobody was there 🤔... His store should get more donations
I hope yall up charge the non Blk ppl for products and services
No need, he won’t be in business long lol. His own community will just rob and run him out of businesses. Just like they did with the store that was there before.
Disgraceful, the bare minimum being lauded. Oh Black folks when will you climb out of this mediocrity?
I'm glad hes actually doing something for his community instead of just complaining and blaming other people And waiting on handouts..
Let's see how long that lasts!!! It's basically illegal for black people to do well or help their community so let's watch what happens!! I'm betting that within 3 years that supermarket will not exist!! Imminent Domain will be used to destroy it and the government will just let it happen and send it's thoughts and prayers!!!!
What “ black owned businesses “ this is not a good term .
Good for him. Hopefully when he starts growing, envy and jealousy won't set in.
🖤❤️🙏🏽
Unfortunately, this is Detroit Michigan, hope for the best, and prepare for the worst !
Lmao. Yall have no shame with the lies you report. This might be a new store but this for damn sure is not the first black store in Detroit. In the city of Notorious Motown not having a black business district or stores ever in history? Stop fueling lies...
How about we make this just as popular as the negativity the black community gets in Detroit.
Someone should give this young man more funds so he can have more groceries someone also need to show him where there's free grants for them particular neighborhood they should get this young man a heavy PPP loan
Good for you that God lift you up I pray that you continue to do good may God watch over you and keep doing what you doing in the name of Jesus😊
This is not the first black grocery store in Detroit
Is it better than
Food Pride on E Warren?
CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME!!! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Thank You ❤
Great until the shoplifters show up.
Good luck young man I pray you grow to have many stores God Bless.
so we are supposed to believe that there was never a black owned grocery store until now?
This is what im talking he didnt depends on this sorry government in DC
Love it!!!!!
Congratulations and Thank you.
Only and first are not interchangeable
Congratulations my brother
Kudos! 👏🏾 Way to Go!
This is wonderful for Detroit!
Let them steal from their own
Proud of him
GOT THAT TRUMP STYLE HAT!!
Congratulations
Organic fare, expensive food with little real health benefits. It strikes me as unlikely that this is the first blacked owned grocery store in Detroit, what happened to them?
The people in their own community rob and run them out. Same thing happened with the store before this one. It was robbed and then burned down. Same will happen with this one.
