Do I have to be Armenian for my business page to be included on the BFAL site?

The BFAL primarily serves as a resource for all to discover and support Armenian-owned businesses, however we also feature non-Armenian businesses who have proven to be allies to the Armenian community. 


What constitutes an ally?

An ally of the Armenian community is someone who has demonstrated their allyship/support by any of the following:

  • Selling Armenian products and/or manufacturing in Armenia

  • Actively supporting the community on their social media pages

  • Donating to Armenian causes

  • Other acts not mentioned but closely related to those mentioned above


Does The Big Fat Armenian List recommend everyone on the list?

We vet the businesses to our best abilities to verify they are real and fit within our guidelines, but we do not endorse any business in particular. As the consumer, it is your responsibility to do your own research before spending your hard-earned money on any business or product. We are simply an aggregate resource list.


Can I buy items from a business directly on your website?

No. Please use the links on each business’s page to shop directly with them either on their website or preferred platforms.


How do I edit or remove my business?

If you are looking to edit/update a listing, please go to Edit a Business and fill out the form.

If you are looking to remove your own business from our website, please email us at thebigfatarmenianlist@gmail.com. We may have to verify your identity.
