☀️August is National Black Business Month. Let's take this time to celebrate, support, and uplift Black-owned businesses that contribute so much to our community.👏🏽 🎉The annual celebration was created in 2004 when historian John William Templeton and engineer Fredrick E. Jordan partnered to highlight the critical role Black-owned businesses play in the nation’s economy, as well as the unique challenges they face. According to recent Census Bureau data, there are approximately 3.5 million Black-owned businesses in the United States. These businesses employ 1.2 million people and generate $217.3 billion in total sales.📈💰 Whether it's shopping local, referring or recommending a Black-owned business or partnering with Black entrepreneurs, every action counts.✊🏾 #economicdevelopment #Growth #Culture #NationalBlackBusinessMonth #BlackWallStreet #BlackOwnedBusiness #smallbusiness #founder #startups #Texas #DFW #Dallas #DeSoto City of DeSoto DeSoto Area Chamber of Commerce

The Kohl's Distribution eFulfillment Center, a major company in our Eagle Business & Industrial Park, plays a crucial role in driving #EconomicDevelopment and stability in our region. As one of six major facilities across the United States, the DeSoto facility supports the efficient distribution of goods nationwide and serves as a significant local employer. Recently, the DeSoto Development Corporation toured the center along with the DeSoto Police Department, where we gained insights into facility operations, hiring challenges, employee welfare, and community engagement initiatives, including their school supply drive and on-site wellness center. Kohl's embraces a C.A.R.E. (Customer, Accountable, Resourceful, and Empathetic) work culture, which prioritizes customer satisfaction, accountability, and understanding. Furthermore, the on-site Wellness Center provides comprehensive healthcare services for both full-time and seasonal employees, including support for physical therapy and other medical needs, enhancing the overall well-being of the workforce. The center’s ongoing contributions to the local economy will be showcased at the upcoming HR Roundtable in September, where new business developments and community projects will be discussed. Thanks to the Kohl’s team for their amazing hospitality and commitment to the City of DeSoto! #economicdevelopment #workforce #retention #sitevisit #logistics #growth #Texas #Dallas #DFW #DeSoto #somuchtolove
