Our History

Established in 2023, #exploreeastflatbush by Deh Abroad Village, in partnership with New York City Small Business Services, the East Flatbush Merchants Association has emerged from humble beginnings. What started as a small group of visionary business owners has evolved into a robust association with a singular focus – the prosperity of our neighborhood.
The roots of EFMA are deeply embedded in the fabric of East Flatbush, and we take immense pride in our history. From day one, our journey has been marked by resilience, collaboration, and a shared vision for a brighter future. As we continue to grow, we remain steadfast in our commitment to being a driving force for positive change in East Flatbush.
Looking ahead, we are not just building on our history; we are shaping our destiny. EFMA is not just an association; it’s a community of forward-thinkers, go-getters, and passionate individuals dedicated to the success of every business in East Flatbush.
Join us on this exciting journey as we work together towards a future where East Flatbush thrives economically, socially, and culturally. Together, we are #exploreeastflatbush, and the best is yet to come!
