Small businesses inside Atlanta’s Municipal Market are getting a leg up with several $10,000 grants during the FIFA World Cup. Invest Atlanta approved the grants for businesses inside the historic market to make repairs and upgrades.
Business owners say the $10,000 grant gives them access to capital that they haven’t had before.
Metro Deli & Soul Food has been inside the Municipal Market for 22 years.
The owner, Hirut Lemma, says they typically see around one hundred customers a day. She says money will go towards renovations.
