Following the recent Atlanta spa shootings that killed six Asian women and the increased racism the Asian community has faced due to the coronavirus pandemic, many are looking to support Asian-owned businesses. Asian business owners said they’ve been hit especially hard during the pandemic because of their race, facing economic devastation as a result.
Bloomington has more than 25 Asian-owned businesses, from restaurants to salons to grocery stores.
