Groupon, the go-to destination for local experiences, and the National+Black+Chamber+of+Commerce released their second annual survey of Black small business owners in recognition of August’s National Black Business Month. Groupon and the chamber spoke with 500 Black-owned small businesses and 1,500 consumers to gain a better understanding of how consumers' shopping habits have forever changed since the racial reawakening that began in the United States last summer. According to the results, consumers are largely keeping their promises to spend a greater share of their wallet at Black-owned businesses, but challenges remain.
