Our Story

We know what you’re looking for
because we were
looking for it too.

“People come in looking for a taste of home. A familiar brand, a spice they haven’t seen in years, flavours they’ve been missing since they moved here. We make sure they find it every time.” Cecilia Abidogun, Founder

how it started

It started with a
few boxes in a garage.

Three years ago, Cecilia Abidogun started sourcing Nigerian and Caribbean ingredients from her home in Edmonton. No business plan, no grand vision. Just neighbours who needed things they couldn’t find anywhere else.

Rice, palm oil, beans. People would knock on her door and she’d sort them out. It kept growing. At some point it stopped being a favour and started being something bigger.

the turning point

Three years in.
One store that feels like home.

May 2025, the doors opened at 3359 153 Ave NW, Northeast Edmonton. What started in a garage was now a proper shop. Groceries, spices, hair and beauty, fabrics. Everything stocked with intention. Cecilia knew exactly what her community had been missing because she’d been missing it too. Every shelf in that store is an answer to someone’s request.
