The campaign, created by Tiandra Robinson (The Marketing Maven) in 2020, aims to encourage patronage, increase exposure, and boost sales for these businesses and was an answer to the havoc Covid caused on the local restaurant industry.

​

Taking place during the first week of October, Black Eats Week offers customers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy special discounts and deals for seven days. To fully benefit from the campaign, customers must mention 502 Black Eats Week when making their purchases, ensuring that they contribute to the success and growth of these businesses.

​

This initiative not only supports the local food industry but also introduces new customers to the diverse culinary options available in Louisville and supports making an economic impact for black-owned businesses. Be sure to mark your calendar and participate in 502 Black Eats Week to discover and savor the wonderful offerings from these incredible food-based businesses.
