Young, Black & Successful

With all the stories that we hear about Philly in the headlines lately, it's refreshing to hear about something that is actually beneficial to the community.

One Philadelphia business owner who is referred to as "Chef Smiley" or simply as "Smiley", has made waves since he has entered the business world. Smiley started his career as a Chef following the lead that his late father who was also able to gain the respect of his peers and created employment opportunities for hundreds in the Tri-State area.

While many business owners were forced to close their doors this only inspired Smiley to create even more opportunities for entrepreneurs to thrive which brings us to "Vendors Mall Philly". Vendors Mall Philly (VMP) is the first indoor mall that was specially created for disadvantaged entrepreneurs who may not have the financial means or may not even know where to start.

VMP is scheduled to have its official grand opening & first annual Toy Drive, which benefits disadvantaged children on Saturday, December 18, 2021. Not only will this provide the Philadelphia area with a unique shopping experience but is projected to create hundreds of opportunities for entrepreneurs throughout the Philadelphia area with future plans to expand throughout the tri-state area.
