Iowa City is home to many wonderful businesses! If you’re looking to support a variety of businesses and business types, including Black business owners, be sure to check out this guide to Black owned businesses in the Iowa City Area.
Click on each business to check out the products and services that they have to offer. If you are able to make a purchase at this time, we encourage you to do so.
