Kandi Burruss’ husband Todd Tucker made the announcement on Instagram Tuesday, the caption on his post read — “I live in Southwest Atlanta and always asked why we don’t have certain restaurants in our area (Black Area). But I’m not asking any more! I will build what we want and what we need in our communities! They better not let me figure out how to build my own grocery store! #blackowned #buytheblock #liveinourcommunity.”
