Earlier this week, we asked y’all for questions and feedback surrounding the protests + how COLAtoday could better serve our community. One of the most commonly asked questions we received was “what are some Black-owned businesses I can support in Columbia?”.

We did a little digging, utilized this list of restaurants + this list of Soda City vendors and asked y’all for input to put together a roundup of Black and minority-owned businesses in and around Columbia.

Disclaimer: Some businesses may be temporarily closed or offering limited services due to the coronavirus pandemic. We recommend calling or checking social media before visiting.
