Immigrant-Owned Businesses in Worcester to Support in 2026

A family dental practice, a deli, a counter selling pizza and fried chicken, a family-run bottle shop, a behavioral health clinic, a moving company with no hidden fees, and an attorney who practices immigration law across New England. Thirteen businesses in the Worcester record carry the city's new American tag, and this is the only place in this directory where that tag exists in any number.

Every business named here links to its profile, where each ownership tag shows the source it came from. For everything in the metro, filter the Worcester hub.

2. Eat at Spoodles Deli or Kokoriko's Pizza Fried Chicken.
3. Drink at Sip, and stock up at Santiagos Liquors.
4. Book therapy at The Counseling And Assessment Clinic Of Worcester.
5. Arrange care at home with Abby Homecare Solutions or Divinetouch Home Health Care.
6. Move with Jtr Enterprises.
7. Get immigration advice from Moreno Law Office.
8. The Worcester hub carries all 116 listings, and immigrant-owned businesses in Worcester filters to these.

Eating and drinking

Spoodles Deli is the counter for a fast, fresh lunch. Kokoriko's Pizza Fried Chicken is a small room doing two things at once and doing both properly. Sip is the bright little place for a drink, and Santiagos Liquors is the family-run bottle shop that regulars name the owners of in their reviews.

Health and care

Burncoat Family Dental takes families in the Burncoat neighborhood. The Counseling And Assessment Clinic Of Worcester provides therapy, counseling and assessment in Worcester and Fitchburg. Abby Homecare Solutions and Divinetouch Home Health Care both provide non-medical care at home for seniors and people with disabilities.

Law, moving and the working day

Moreno Law Office is where this list gets specific: Attorney Madeleine Moreno practices every part of immigration law for New England, and the practice itself carries the immigrant-owned tag. Jtr Enterprises moves studio apartments through to corporate offices and advertises no hidden fees. Franco Logistics Services dispatches for new carriers, single-truck operators and small fleets, with bilingual support, which is the sort of business that exists because someone needed it themselves. Armandos works by appointment on a wardrobe plan rather than a rack, and Business License Lookup Api builds license verification tools.

Why this tag is rare, and what it means

Most sources this directory draws on record one or two ownership dimensions, usually Black-owned or women-owned. The City of Worcester's Diverse Business Directory records six, including one it labels new American, which maps to the immigrant-owned tag here. That is why 13 of the portfolio's immigrant-owned listings are in one metro: it is a fact about which cities publish this field, not about where immigrant-owned businesses are.

It is also a self-identification. The city says businesses elected to be listed and that inclusion is not an endorsement or a verification, so the tag records a claim a business made about itself in a public register.

What the record does not cover yet

All 13 are inside Worcester itself, and 10 of them are also tagged minority-owned, six women-owned. Five are in health, three in food, and the remaining five are one each in law, moving, logistics, retail and clothing.

There is no contractor, no salon, no shop besides the bottle shop and no restaurant with a dining room under this tag yet, and none in Fitchburg, Leominster or the county towns. Worcester's immigrant business community is plainly larger than 13. That is a gap in the record, and a free listing is the way into it.

Common mistakes

• Reading 13 as a count of the city's immigrant-owned businesses. It is the number that appear in one municipal directory, which businesses opt into.
• Assuming the tag implies the others. Immigrant-owned, minority-owned and women-owned are separate dimensions, and a listing shows exactly which ones it claimed.
• Expecting every listing to have a storefront. Home care, logistics and moving all come to you.
• Missing the practices. A dentist, a behavioral health clinic and an immigration attorney are the anchors of this list, not the food.
