This website header dates back to 2007 and was designed to attract customers to the restaurant. Since opening in 1998, Mert's has been featured as one of Charlotte’s top restaurants and is a favorite for many in the Charlotte area. This restaurant is a Black-owned business in Charlotte focused on serving Southern comfort food. This header design not only showcases the company's logo but also elements that connect to African American culture.
Mert's Heart and Soul emphasizes comfort food. Collard greens, catfish, and macaroni and cheese are just some of the items this restaurant serves. Many people do not recognize Southern cuisine as being upscale, but Mert's incorporates both traditions with elevated dishes. Another item that brings comfort and connects to Black culture is music. In the website header, there are pictures of famous African American musicians, including Aretha Franklin, also known as the Queen of Soul, as well as an image of a musical group that had a significant impact on the genres of soul and Motown music.
