Dr. Riley & Central Launches The Black Saint Louis BuyOut Phase 3: A Marketplace for Economic Empowerment and Community Legacy

ST. LOUIS, MO — Did you know the Black dollar currently circulates in our community for only six hours? The Black Saint Louis BuyOut is on a mission to change that—and we need your help.

After the overwhelming success of our Black-owned gas station and pharmacy BuyOuts—where we boosted sales by 630 gallons in just one hour and transferred over 1,000 prescriptions while raising $3,000 for residents in need—we’re launching Saint Louis’ own Black Market. This isn’t just another pop-up; it’s an economic movement designed to keep our dollars local and our culture thriving.

Join us for the Black Saint Louis BuyOut:
• Dates: Sundays, June 22 · July 27 · August 24
• Time: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
• Location: The Warehouse, 2800 Washington Avenue, Saint Louis, MO 63103

What to Expect:
• 25+ Curated black-owned vendors offering everything from financial services and fashion to fragrance, sauces, and garden goods
• Delicious eats from STL’s best Black-owned food trucks, including Mosito’s BBQ and A’Deans Kitchen & Catering
• Farmers and local producers are welcome—email saritamoody314@gmail.com to register!

Confirmed Vendors Include:

Feeling Moody · Tailored Pieces · Black Madonna JuJu · Liberated Roots · Freddie Lee’s Gourmet Sauces · Aries Bakery · Neo Zoe · and many more!

Why It Matters:

Dr. Riley says, "The Black Saint Louis BuyOut is more than a marketplace—it’s where community and commerce meet. By shopping with purpose, we’re building with intention, supporting Black-owned businesses, and redefining what it means to buy local."

Let’s shop with purpose and build with intention. Bring your wallet, your people, and your purpose. **#BlackSaintLouisBuyOut #SupportBlackBusiness #STLEconomicGrowth #BuyBlackBuildBlack
