“The Divine Nine represents leadership, legacy and service – values that deeply align with who we are as a company,” said Warren Thompson, founder and chairman of Thompson Restaurants. ”As a lifetime member of the Xi Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, and former Chapter President, the partnership is deeply personal to me. As a Black-owned business rooted in community, we’re proud to support an organization that continues to uplift future generations through service and education, particularly during Black History Month.”
