Black Wall Street AVL’s Greater Access to Tourism Entrepreneurship (GATE) program is introducing All for One, an initiative to support local Black-owned businesses. During the year-long program, a new business will be spotlighted each month to encourage local spending and bolster inclusive economic growth.

The program kicks off this Tuesday, Sept. 24 with Romeo’s Vegan Burgers. Stop by the restaurant on Merrimon Avenue from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. for a hearty, plant-based meal. Then, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., there will be a special meet and greet with the GATE cohort, where you can connect with the entrepreneurs.

The GATE program works to help business owners thrive in the tourism space, teaching tools for increased income, business revenue, job creation, and more.

Keep an eye on Black Wall Street AVL’s social media to stay in the know about future businesses highlighted in All for One.
