Black Business Month at PREIT
In celebration of Black Business Month, PREIT properties partnered with local businesses and tenants like Curate Noir and Buy Local, Buy Black to host showcases and expos.
- Black-Owned Business Expo at Cherry Hill Mall
- Black Business Expo at Plymouth Meeting Mall
The showcases brought Black-owned vendors into the mall, introducing our shoppers to new products and small locally-owned businesses. The vendors gained exposure to new customers and had the opportunity to network with other Black-owned businesses. Our showcases featured a wide variety of vendors with apparel, art, natural skincare, home décor, candles, and more!

Black Business Month may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to stop supporting Black-owned businesses. We’re thankful to the Black-owned businesses at our properties for their contributions to enhancing the shopping experience through diverse offerings and the inspiration they provide our communities. We’re committed to promoting these tenants all year through our Black-Owned Business 365 initiative. Check out your local mall’s event page to see all the Black-owned businesses at each property.
