Founded in 2011, The Atlanta Black Restaurant Owners Network's (ABRON) mission is to reduce the risk factors of starting and maintaining a food service business, growing and creating jobs in Atlanta and uplifting the community. That means making sure restaurants are economically competitive, developing innovative solutions to the challenges we face today, and maintaining a commitment to a high standard of life.

Our membership includes a cross-section of food service industry professionals - that are committed to providing leadership, education, and taking action regarding issues that impact the bottom lines of small businesses.
