African-American owned businesses highlighted on “Black Friday”


PEORIA (HOI) - A local fraternity is working to bring attention to minority businesses across the heart of Illinois.

"Members of Alpha Phi Alpha are promoting African-American owned and operated businesses through "Black Fridays."

Friday, they stopped by ‘Popcorn Heaven’ at 609 West Lake Avenue, a family project of owners Gregory and Joanne Young. For them it's a chance to bring the focus back to local businesses like theirs and use it as an example for anyone looking to start a business of their own."
