Chicago | Black Owned

Family-run restaurant Five Loaves Eatery is a mainstay on Chicago’s South Side. Historically, for most Black families with dreams of departing the South, Chicago represented a land of liberation and economic prosperity. Now, after decades of systemic and environmental oppression, Constance of Five Loaves Eatery, and the community she serves, is setting up the South Side of Chicago for a comeback. From financial struggles to fires, this small business remains a survivor with the support of its community, and a dedication to legacy.

“Black and Brown girls and boys are watching. I want to see them blossom. I want to see them owning their own, to reinvest in our own neighborhoods.” —Constance Simms-Kincaid, owner Five Loaves Eatery
