Welcome to Afro Mart

It is with much gratitude that we welcome you to Afro Mart, which has been the culmination of hard work, dedication, and perseverance.

The idea of opening Afro Mart first came to me a few years after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, LA, in 2005. At that time, my family and I were new to the city, me having just relocating to the U.S. from my home country of Ghana. I immediately noticed a void in our African community in New Orleans and sought to contribute (in a small but meaningful way) by fostering a sense of community among the growing African and International communities living in my city through food. Afro Mart aims to provide your favorite authentic African, Caribbean, Hispanic foods and products made readily accessible to our customers.

“What we don’t carry, we will find…just let us know what you are looking for”
