Client Spotlight: The Urban Grape Featured on NBC Boston’s Hub
Celebrating Innovation, Inclusion, and the Power of Progress
At One 8 Solutions, we take immense pride in supporting visionary entrepreneurs who are not only growing their businesses but also creating lasting impact in their communities. That’s why we’re thrilled to celebrate our client, The Urban Grape (The Drink Progressively Group), on their recent feature on NBC Boston’s lifestyle show, Hub Today!
As part of Small Business Week, Hub Today partnered with Chase for Business to spotlight local businesses that are leading with purpose—and The Urban Grape is a shining example.
Founded by TJ and Hadley Douglas, The Urban Grape is a Black-owned, award-winning wine shop based in Boston that’s redefining the beverage retail experience through their signature Drink Progressively™ philosophy. Their innovative approach organizes wines by body instead of varietal or region, making wine more approachable, inclusive, and enjoyable for all.
But their impact goes far beyond the glass.
Through initiatives like The Urban Grape Wine Studies Award for Students of Color, the team is fostering greater representation and opportunity within the beverage industry. Their commitment to education, equity, and empowerment has made them not just a standout business, but a catalyst for change.
We are honored to support The Urban Grape on their journey—providing financial clarity, controller-level accounting, and advisory services to help them scale sustainably and continue breaking barriers.
