WHAT EXHIBITORS SAY ABOUT US
Thank you for making our time at the expo such a success! We had an incredible experience connecting with so many amazing individuals and businesses, sharing our vision, and showcasing what we have to offer. Your hard work and dedication in coordinating this event truly made a difference. Let’s keep this positive momentum going!
We are still basking in the euphoria of the just concluded Saskatoon Black Business Expo. We want to say a special thanks to everyone who patronized Global Pot Cuisine and Global Specialty Foods. Thanks for all your amazing feedback on our “15 min Jollof Pack”, and for clearing every food item we came with, we are truly grateful to Saskatoon Black Business Network for their support.
We met as vendors at the 2025 Black Business Expo. Although we couldn’t share a stand, a strong connection was formed through our shared passion for food and community. That connection evolved into a partnership, culminating in a shared kitchen space and the opening of our mini eatery on September 3, 2025, which demonstrated the power of connection at the Black Business Expo.
