District Market celebrates one year as Houston’s first Black-owned grocery store

Written by on December 1, 2022

As Houston’s first Black-owned grocery store, District Market specializes in carrying a variety of unique locally- and minority-owned products, owner Robert Thomas said.

In November, District Market is celebrating its one-year anniversary since opening on FM 1960. Before founding District Market, Thomas said he frequented local pop-ups and was struck by the number of great Black-owned brands that were not sold in national chain stores.

“I’m like, ‘Why [are] none of these products in the store? I need to make the store,’” Thomas said.
