Our ‘General Market shopping Center GMSC’ consist of over 1500 general market companies, that allows the African American consumer to, join free, and save up to forty percent 40%  on any products or services purchased through The African American Connection AAC domain.

This cash back feature is exclusive only to the GMSC and does not apply to the African American Shopping Center. One of the primary goals of the AAC shopping system is to provide the African American shopper with purchasing choices that meets both their shopping desires, as well as their personal shopping requirements, while simultaneously providing our shoppers with a personal economic benefit which will translate into contributing to the overall economic well being of our collective communities.

Therefore, the consumers who choose to shop within the GMSC will receive a cash back rebate in the form of a check that will be mailed quarterly and payable in cash, on the products or services that they may choose to purchase through the AAC domain.  During our research into the buying decisions of African American consumers we discovered that by trying to pigeon hole the citizens of our community into shopping choices that are not compatible to their circumstances, results in marginalizing all of the shopping choices which have the potential of contributing to the economic growth of our communities. The African American Connection has been designed to be a self reliant action, which allows us as African Americans to participate in our own economic welfare, all through the simple process of intelligent choice.

If we are only able to manage a ten percent savings, of the up to 40% that can be realized by choosing to shop with the AAC ‘General Market Shopping Center’ out of the over $700 billion that we are currently spending at the highest retail cost within the general market place, our collective communities would realize an additional increase of revenue - equivalent to $70 million - money we can especially use during these times of economic uncertainty.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and your patronage
