Hidden Gem on Blackwell Street! Stopped by the new spot on Blackwell Street -- and wow, this place deserves way more foot traffic! Beautiful art on the walls, African clothing that's actually unique, and the smell of those natural oils and butters? Chef's kiss. They've also got blinged-out T-shirts, purses, and all the little things that make you wanna spoil yourself. It's giving culture, creativity, and community. It was pretty quiet when I visited, so let's change that! If you're in the area, stop by and show them some love -- and check out the Pink Lion Jazz Club while you're there. #SupportSmallBusiness #ShopLocal #BlackwellStreetVibes read more

It's been a few years since I've visited New Black Wall Street. There have been a few changes. Parking is still the same good and plenty. Upon walking in every thing looked different. A few stores that I was looking for had gone. I did come across this oil bar and I love scented body oils. The owner was very helpful with asking me what was my scent preferences. He also sold incenses and a few other items. The oil scent stayed on me the entire day. I will definitely be returning for more oils! Until next time SYOY! read more

New Black Wall Street - Site Plan - Shopping Centers Near Me - Stonecrest, Georgia

This past weekend my mother and I finally made our way over to check out the New Black Wall Street shopping center. They were rounding out the Juneteenth celebration with various vegan food booths, seminars on home ownership, and starting your own business. They are approximately a block from Stone Crest Mall. The doors open at 11 am however I was disappointed to see a few cars in the parking lot and most of the vendors weren't set up. The vendors that were ready received plenty of $$$ between the two of us. I can't wait to go back and check out more booths. read more

A wonderful manifestation of black excellence and community. I had the opportunity to peruse through the New Black Wallstreet and checkout many of the shops and vendors. We we greeted at the entrance by a volunteer that explained the layout, gave us maps and information on activities like jazz night. We so happened to arrive just 20 minutes prior to the start of a fashion show. During the fashion show, a variety of lovely African fabrics and outfits were modeled for women, men and children. Although all of the spaces weren't filled yet and all of the shops weren't open, there are enough businesses there for us to peruse for about 45 minutes. The variety of shops and vendors include jewelry, clothing, hair supply, tax services, dentistry, shoes, fitness gear, natural skincare, food and snacks, bookstore, etc. Over the loud speaker, I heard the announcement for upcoming entertainment including jazz night, spoken word, etc. I definitely would like to come back for this. I have to admit that I am a little excited about this place and what it represents. I am definitely looking forward to seeing and experiencing all that is to come. read more

Too early to give a full review. But I'm going to give a review of its NBWS current state. I have huge expectations. And have spoken to organizers that have explained the vision. Located across from stone crest mall. Parking lot is like a labyrinth, but there is tons of parking. Entrance Sanitizer station upon entering the building. Large doors to enter and exit. There is an information desk, and most times a staff member to assist with enhancing your experience. Vendors Of all the vendors, I'm most excited for the market. Eventually, the market will have fresh local produce stocked and ready for us. Currently, this area doesn't have a fresh market in the area. So, the new market coming is major... Business solutions, aesthetics, wardrobe, textiles, you name it it's there. Plans to have office space, entertainment and community resources Food court area Several options, vegan, fish fry, fresh juice, non dairy options, hot southern items. Several restaurants will be coming. Support and protect your community/culture by all means. read more

Come out and support Black businesses and artists! Clothing, beauty supplies, jewelry, food, health products, oils, creams, shoes, even furniture and household items... there's something here for everyone so if you are an independent business and you are looking for a supportive environment to selm your services... come check out this location.. We drive out here for raw shea and mango butter. We also pick up incense, and other all natural products. Sure we could order online or get from some place closer.. but getting it here is a whole vibe - not just a drive by purchase moment to compñete a checklist. LoL!! From seminars to stepping lessions... custom clothing and art work to homemade deliciousness like ice cream or full southern meals... theres a little bit of everything here to peak your shopping curiosity. I wish there were more vendors filling up the vacant storefronts, but I'm guessing they are working on it long term. For now, lets not only support small Black businesses during February. Drive out here and make a conscious effort to keep this mall successful all year long!! read more

New Black Wall Street Market is a must visit if you're in the Lithonia/Stonecrest area. It is the newest hub for all things Black business and culture in metro-Atlanta. There are various businesses inside, from a beauty supply store to clothing and apparel, and even a podcast studio and radio station. The venue hosts multiple events throughout the week as well. Inside there are a number of food vendors, including vegan food. There's also an art gallery and a tea room. Ample parking on site and close to I-20. read more

One thing I will say is that New Black Wall Street has a lot of potential, I just don't know why it hasn't reached its peak yet. A few things that bothered me and ultimately became the main reason for me not coming back is all the vendors are not open at the same time. I get that they are individual vendors but if NBWS is open at 11AM, then I assume that all vendors are open . I understand that there is probably more to that but as a consumer, I don't have the time to come to NBWS at certain times and certain days to know when it is popping and when it is not. I overall enjoy my experience there, but at times it just felt like the same old same old. read more

Every city in the world needs a New Black Wall Street. So beautiful seeing all of these Black Owned Businesses flourishing amongst one another. NBWS is proof that Black people can truly make money together. NBWS is located right by Stonecrest Mall. They have so many different businesses here. I mean, Black art, different Black Owned clothing brands, oils, skin care, hair care, books, Greek paraphernalia, sneakers, anything you need. There are also several Black Owned restaurants who set up inside to sell their delicious food as you shop. All of the food is good. The African Textile Museum is AMAZING! The lady who runs has a beautiful spirit and kind heart. Loved chatting with her. Overall, if you're Black and near Atlanta, there's no reason you shouldn't be here. You'll fall in love. read more

What a positive experience! The vendors are friendly and attentive. Beautiful merchandise being sold by Black owned businesses. Plenty of room for growth. #support read more

New Black Wall Street - Shopping Centers Near Me - Stonecrest, Georgia

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF BLACK WALL STREET? If not, that is an entire conversation all by itself that you can learn about here in a very interactive & engaging article by the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/05/24/us/tulsa-race-massacre.html THE NEW BLACK WALL STREET pays homage to those thriving businesses of the early 1900's on Greenwood Avenue in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was said "You could shop for groceries, play pool, take in a theater show, eat dinner or get your hair styled -- without ever leaving the block." Businesses included lawyers, dentists, physicians, dress makers, printers, photographers, notaries, insurance agencies, electricians, realtors, plumbers, tailors, as well as cafés, confectioneries, hotels and newspapers to name a few. [ THE EXPERIENCE ] While it is still in early stages and not yet to full potential, it was thrilling to see just how many businesses have committed to this new chapter in Black History. The structure itself was once a Target Store but has been changed on the inside to feel like you are walking down streets and entering shops as if they were their own standalone building. Even the hallways have street signs and names. This is the vision, but as of my visit, it is incomplete. Some businesses have that sort of curbside storefront feel while others seem more like a strip mall or consignment shop. But as Zechariah 4:10 says: "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand." Most of the permanent residents are to the front while temporary businesses just setting up shop for a few weeks or so are in a large open space in the rear. The feel here is more like an open-air City Market. During my visit there was a jewelry maker that was responsible for the necklace of Angela Bassett's regal character in Black Panther. There was plenty of gorgeous art, handbags, lotions, potions, soaps, haircare products, clothing and YES... FOOD! Popcorn, BBQ, cakes, ice cream, po' boys, Jamaican cuisine and juiceries + a radio station broadcasting live. [ THREE BUSINESSES THAT REALLY STOOD OUT ] One of my favorite finds was a place called STAR STATUS, home of AFR_letics and Inner Me Healing Crystals & Energy Jewelry. Here I saw a clothing concept unlike anything I've ever seen. The sports-like gear is based on fictional teams that represent someone from history. I NEARLY DIED LAUGHING with delight when I ran across a jacket for Harriet Tubman's Track Stars! Listen, we can't change the past, but I found this little twist a delightful spin on a dark past. After all, who better to coach a cross-country team than Harriet Tubman!!! Another great business was AD - Artist Demetrius. The talent he has on display here is inspiring. I loved each and every piece, but especially the one paying tribute to Black Artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, who collaborated with Andy Warhol in the mid-1980's. Staci Maxwell has captivating art pieces. She displays black women in the most beautiful of ways with her art, home décor items and gifts. I especially loved the clocks. If this is a fair and just world, there is no way her art won't become nationally recognized. I can't wait to see what else her mind creates: https://www.stacimaxwell.com/ [ MUSIC ] A large social space on the east side of the building houses a stage where either live musicians or theatrical plays can perform or a base thumping DJ can spin his magic, as was the case when I visited. [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE ATMOSPHERE!!! There is joy here, and a strong sense of hope as each business owner greeted me cheerfully and many of the food vendors passed out samples. I'd just eaten prior to arriving (which I regretted after seeing the food selection), but I was motivated to buy some delicious Chicago-Style Popcorn from Chef Tiffinee McGilberry. I also got a Black Currant candle from Veggie Bubbles and hope to return soon for some of her natural skincare products. I also look forward to adding some art to my home collection, a baseball cap from the vendor selling Negro League Sportwear and of course I MUST find room in my wardrobe for that Tubman Track Star jacket! LOL Again, this place I'm sure is not where it wants to be just yet, but they are off to a great start! 2022 / 48 #BlackOwnedBusinessSeries read more

I finally had a chance to visit the New Black Wall Street complex, and I was just blown away and equally overjoyed by everything I witnessed today. The walls of the place ooze black excellence and awesomeness. From the art to the restaurants to the Gourmet market to the individual shops selling cosmetics I was so pleased I had a chance to visit this epicenter of Black enterprise. This spot is a citadel to what we can do and how we can be collectively economically impactful, and I definitely will return with friends and family. Many vendors in the spot are still getting up and getting started, and some were closed today, but I thoroughly enjoyed supporting those I had a chance to meet and visit today. read more

If you looking for a place to celebrate black business and entrepreneurial spirit, The New Black Wall Street is the place. This idea was a great use of the vacated space which left a hole in the Upper Stonecrest area. The choice really serves the community in an impactful way. There are so many great shops and boutiques inside as well as other types of black businesses. It's always a pleasure when you can incubate so many small businesses in one area and help them thrive and grow. I definitely lend my support through telling others but most importantly frequenting the shops for some good ol' patronage. read more

I made it my business to go to this establishment to support on Juneteenth.

this was a great place . the food was great the art was great, and the clothing and other stuff was great. everything in here is great and thats all that I can say. I had to make myself leave or else I would've spent all my money in this place everything just captures you. read more

I love the community of small black businesses that are here in the place. They have a large number of stores to shop. The one thing I wish would come into this venture is black beauty shop that does all kinds of black hair, natural, processed, weaves, braids at a reasonable affordable price and not those in the city 200 dollars for a simple silk press on short/medium length hair, lol. A black owned and operated nail shop would be great to have in here as well. read more

Nice place, lots of vendors. Was able to purchase some one of a kind luggage bag. Had myself some tea to promote health.

Great atmosphere and wonderful shops. Business opportunities for Black businesses especially female owned businesses.

Has anyone ever mentioned the New Black Wall Street? If not, this place is conversational worthy. From entertainment, a lot of good food, small black businesses, dope cultural art....wow this is definitely my new place to shop. I will continue to support small black businesses by starting at home. Stop by and check it out for yourself and most definitely tell all your friends!!!!!!! read more

Went to New Black Wall Street yesterday snd I am so impressed! All of the vendors and shop owners we encountered were so warm and welcoming. The facility is beautiful. Although there were quite a few stores open, there are still spaces that are awaiting occupancy. In addition to the shops there is a beautiful jazz venue that I can't wait to attend. There is also a restaurant called Mama's Porch that looks so cute and homey. Looking forward to visiting this spot once it opens. All in all I am so excited for this shopping and dining destination and hope that people will patronize these businesses. read more
