About Us

Akabanga International Market is more than just a store. It’s a celebration of African culture, flavors, and community.

Our Story

Our journey began in the 1990s with a small family-run shop in Africa, where we sold local foods, spices, and everyday essentials to our neighbors. That store wasn’t just a business, it was a gathering place, a link between generations, and a space to honor tradition.

In 2014, we brought that same spirit across the world and opened Akabanga International Market, with a mission to share the richness of African culture with a global audience. What started as a dream grew into a trusted market that connects people to the tastes, products, and stories of the African continent.

What We Offer

At Akabanga, we proudly stock a wide selection of authentic African groceries, spices, snacks, household goods, and specialty items carefully chosen to represent a variety of regions, from West Africa to East Africa and beyond. Whether you're looking for ingredients from home, discovering new flavors, or searching for something truly unique, we’re here to help you find it.

We serve families, restaurants, small businesses, and curious shoppers who want more than just a transaction. People who want connection, culture, and quality.

Our Vision

We believe that food and culture go hand in hand. Our vision is to continue growing as a cultural bridge: making African products more accessible, creating space for education and storytelling, and uplifting small producers and brands from across the continent.

As we expand, we remain committed to our roots, staying family-run, community-driven, and passionate about what we do.

A Family Tradition

Akabanga International Market is and has always been a family-run business. That means when you shop with us, you’re not just another customer, you’re part of a community that spans generations and continents.

We’re proud to carry on a tradition of service, quality, and cultural pride. And we’re honored to share a piece of home with everyone who walks through our doors.

Thank you for being part of our story.
