Keeping Our Dollars in Our Community!

Who We Are

Shop Black Tampa Bay (SBTB) is a local collective of Black-owned businesses that work in Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties.

SBTB seeks to answer the question, “Do you know a Black-owned (insert business industry) in (insert city/county)?”

Not only this, but we also wanted to bring the Black business community together to connect, elevate, and support one another through member-hosted events and trainings.

SBTB has been in the works since 2020 and we’re excited to finally launch this initiative for our community.
