Description

Once upon a time, Robert Thomas was a nightclub owner: District 1960 in Northwest Houston. (Acts such as Megan Thee Stallion and Moneybagg Yo performed there.) But, when the pandemic struck and the crowds thinned out, he was forced to shut down and rethink his purpose. Mulling his new status of “non-essential,” he experienced a lightbulb moment: Could he bring black vendors together and promote products made with love at a new grocery store called District Market Green Grocer?
