Longest-running Black-owned grocery stores in North Texas and the nation

“People have to eat.” That’s the phrase Phillip Gipson grew up hearing from his father. As the owners of Gipson Grocery in Dallas, the family knew the importance of being in the food business as well as being a Black-owned store in a Black community.

The store, currently located in West Dallas, is one of the longest-running Black-owned groceries in the nation. It opened its first doors over 60 years ago, in 1956. At one point, Gipson Grocery had four locations. Now down to one, they are looking to expand, particularly in the southern sector, creating better food access and cementing their legacy.

Through decades of ups and downs, Gipson is determined to continue empowering people in the community.
