Naperville Area Black-Owned Businesses
Updates will be made to our lists occasionally.
Hello everyone!
Welcome to our compilation of Black-owned businesses in the Naperville area (IL). We created this list because we were having trouble finding Black-owned businesses in our area and realized we weren't the only ones with this issue. This compilation wouldn’t be possible without our community’s support. Thank you to those who gave feedback and suggestions! We know this list is far from complete & business information can change. We welcome any corrections, comments, and suggestions!
Map Logistics
Our map consists only of businesses that have a physical location. Those without a physical location are included in the documents below. In addition to mapping Black-owned businesses as a whole, we also mapped two categories - restaurants & beauty salons - due to their abundance in the area.
