Follow on Google News | Website That Finds Black Owned Eateries Comes To CanadaBy: Edward Dillard @ Eat Black Owned Food This was the reason for Edward Dillard to create EatBlackOwned.com. Launched in June, 2019, eatblackowned.com gives black owned restaurants, cafes, diners, and bakeries more online exposure. Users can locate eateries that are near their geographic location. Or users can search by city, county, or address. "I wanted to make a website that was user friendly, and had more black owned restaurants listed than any other directory", Edward Dillard said. "Because of slavery, segregation, and past laws by the U.S. Government to oppress black people, there's a huge racial wealth gap in this country. I think we (African Americans) need to do everything in our power to bring ourselves up, and too close this gap". "After launching the site, I started receiving emails for requests in other countries", Dillard said. The website started with a little over 2000 restaurants listed in the United States. "Toronto is the largest and most visited city in Canada. Its multicultural landscape is also home to many black-owned businesses. It's only right for us to expand there. We will then move into Montreal, and other parts of Canada. By the end of 2020, we plan on being across seas in the U.K.". There's a page to submit new businesses. "Free listings and featured listings are available. "I'm hoping people will visit eatblackowned.com, and find a new business to patronize and get some great food. Listings are added everyday, so users should come back to our site to see what's new", Dillard ended the conversation.
