Why do Dominicans own so many Corner Stores in NYC

[Neuromancer]

I see more Arabs owning corner stores though

same.

 

[Just like bruddas]

Fronts for drugs most of them. The once that are not are used to washed the money

 

[damn_ese]

my wife put me on game, the real money maker is . . . . . the numbers game

her parents alone clear 20k a week. . . . from one location, they own 3 stores

a lot of bodegas are involved, her step dad has actually been robbed at gun point twice for the numbers cash, most likely inside jobs

the hustle

I think the majority is owned by middle easterners also people from Yemen.

Yeah

Dominicans be on that hair salon n laundromat wave mostly.

Laundromats in nyc are most definitely run by Chinese people and dry cleaners!

Gentrification is hurting the Dominican stores the most though while it seems the Middle Easteners are just growing with more corner stores and Delis!

I’m young but I heard back in the 70s the Dominican stores were run by Ricans.

There were three Dominican owned corner store by my parents church but now 2 of them are now owned by Arabs!

I'm tired of hearing bout what everyone else owns


Where our shyt at?

What industry/lane do we control? Whats our niche?

Oh easy

The black man’s niche is ‘hating other, especially successful, black men’

If only we were half as passionate about creating our own businesses.. but nah let’s use our time to beef and diss other brothers.
