The Tompkins Avenue Merchant Association (TAMA) is dedicated to strengthening and sustaining small businesses along Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Founded in 2010 by Bridge Street Development Corporation & a few business owners, TAMA works collaboratively with local merchants to provide the tools, resources, and advocacy needed for business success. Through community-driven initiatives, we promote economic growth, neighborhood pride, and a vibrant commercial corridor rooted in local culture. We welcome input from merchants, residents and the community at large to create and maintain a vibrant TAMA.
