7 Amazing Soul Food Restaurants in Jamaica Queens and Harlem NYC
If you're looking for good soul food, all you have to do is ask around. Another way is to check out a recent list published by Black Enterprise.
Their top 5 picks are not only restaurants owned by successful African
Americans, but they also serve some of the best soul food in the country.
This Black Family-Owned Enterprise Owns 16 Fast Food Restaurants in Southern California
67-year old Reginald Webb started his career at McDonald's in 1973 and
was manager and then regional vice-president for 12 years when the
company offered him an opportunity to own his own franchise. He and his
wife, Rene, did not hesitate.
Now, the Webbs have 16 locations and all of them are located in San Bernardino, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario and other cities in the Inland Empire, a region in Southern California about 70 miles from Los Angeles. Their business model is so successful that in 2014, they were awarded the 2014 Black Enterprise Small Business Award Franchise Company of the Year.
Getting the whole family involved
Two of their three children have also joined them in the business. It has truly become a family-owned enterprise, according to this Black entrepreneur who admits that his children "do it better than I ever could.”
But their children did not join him right away; his daughter Kiana owned a clothing store and his son Kyle worked for ABC. But after Webb grew his business into 6 franchises, his children decided to join him in the family business.
Reginald says that his children were able to work well with the younger fast-food employees, and had the willingness to put in the hard work necessary to keep the businesses going. It was important to him that first, they finished their education, and second, that they made their own decision that this is what they wanted to do.
Other Black-owned McDonald's franchises
As of 2014, there were more than 335 franchisees in the National Black McDonald’s Owner’s Association, with 1,200 restaurants throughout the United States. The franchises combined gross more than $2 billion annually in sales.
In 1968, Herman Petty of Chicago became the very first Black owner-operator of a McDonald’s.

This 7-Year Old Entrepreneur From Arkansas is Running Her Own Food Truck
Kyleigh McGee, a 7-year old African American girl from Little Rock, Arkansas is running and operating her very own food truck. The second grader told ABC News that she started out with a lemonade stand, but decided last year to expand her business to be more mobile and serve more refreshments such as fresh pineapple juice and snow cones.
Getting support from the community
Naturally, people are amazed and very impressed at what Kyleigh has been able to accomplish at such a young age. "Everyone is so excited, I have gotten so many phone calls, so many messages," her mom said. "It happened so fast... the response we’ve gotten, I don’t think I was expecting that."
And it's not that people are just supporting her because she's a cute little girl; They really like her products!
Her lemonade is a top seller, and according to her mom, "Everybody has been going crazy about the pineapple snow cones with pineapple juice at the bottom." In addition, she is also serving hot dogs, nachos, frito chili pies, and more. More After Community Businesses Offers...

Not just for the summer
Initially, Kyleigh and her mom planed to run the business during the summer months while Kyleigh was out of school, but their food truck has become so popular that they are actually booked to serve treats and refreshment at various events until December. So, when school starts up again, Kyleigh plans to balance out going to school and continuing to run the business simultaneously.
So what's next?
For now, Kyleigh says she wants to leave her options open about what her future career will be, but she is very open to the idea of owning her own restaurant one day.
"I just tell her whatever you decide to do you have my support, 100 percent," her mom says.
For more details about Kyleigh's business, follow her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/kyleighslemonadestandandmore/

This Woman Entrepreneur Built an App Without Knowing How to Code -- and Now She's a Millionaire!
How it all started
Tara has always had an interest in fine art, but she could not find an app that would help her to find art that matched her taste. She eventually made the decision to just create the app herself, but she didn't know a thing about coding. So, she used existing technology to create her app!
The result: Kollecto - a unique app that sends users handpicked selections of original and editioned artworks by amazing established and emerging artists. The recommendations sent to users are 100% based on their unique taste, style... and budget.
So how did she become a millionaire?
After releasing the app on iTunes and Android, Tara then did a presentation with TEDx, an independent non-profit organization that sparks online conversations to share ideas in communities around the world.
Her presentation was about helping other non-technical people build, market, and monetize their own apps! This lead to an immediate consulting job with a major tech firm that earns her over $1 million a year.
Her advice to others
Tara, who graduated from Columbia University in NYC, says do not let fear prevent you from doing something great. While many would work until it was perfect, Reed suggests just doing it and not to be afraid of making changes in the process.
She recently told Entrepreneur Magazine, “When people ask me for advice, I tell them: Get going. Chances are, you’ll have something wrong, but you won’t know until you test those assumptions with actions.”
