The Caribbean Market

The Haitian community is spread out over the large, greater metropolitan area of Atlanta. And, because there is no single area within the metropolitan vastness where Haitians have settled, there is no specific Haitian commercial area. Haitians live, work and shop throughout the greater Atlanta area which now includes the surrounding Cobb, Douglas, Dekalb, Gwinnett and Clayton counties. Within those counties, they live, work, and shop in such towns as Smyrna, Marietta, Decatur and Austell. The only concentration – albeit it quite small - of Haitian businesses within this great urban sprawl is on Moreland Avenue in Atlanta proper, where two Haitian-owned businesses face each other in a small shopping center.   A number of Haitian businesses are located in Marietta, but not within a close range of each other.
