Joshua Suggs and Corretta King, the co-founders of Delta’s Restaurant, are the featured Entrepreneurs of the Week on this week’s edition of the Black Enterprise Business Report, hosted by Caroline V. Clarke.
For more than a decade, restaurateurs Suggs and King have kept a vigilant eye on the operating budget and overall finances of Delta’s (www.deltasrestaurant.com) in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The duo’s upscale bar and restaurant brings a Southern-style cuisine and flair to the professional crowd of the central New Jersey college town that’s home to Rutgers University. Their financial tenacity and business acumen has enabled them to make a bold move: In the spring of 2011, they will open a second restaurant in Charlotte, North Carolina.
