Our Story
When I was pregnant with my daughter Cassidy, I had the worst cravings for my favorite African snacks. I would spend hours scouring the internet, driving to specialty food stores, but I couldn't find them anywhere.

I would spend hours scouring the internet, driving to specialty food stores, but I couldn't find them anywhere. I needed a convenient way to shop my favorite African grocery items and have them delivered to my doorstep fast. So I launched Ethnic District in 2018, a one-stop-online shopping destination to discover and buy authentic African grocery staples and have them delivered to your doorstep fast! Ethnic District is not your typical specialty African store. We source our products from the best African brands worldwide, ensuring that we have a large variety of high-quality, products ranging from traditional to vegan and gluten-free.
