In Kenner, Louisiana there is a small Eastern European Grocery store. There are some nostalgic…read moreitems I don't see very frequently around the big box retailers. They have salami, jams and preservatives, coffee beans and loose teas. There's also honey, chocolate, candy and snacks. Their prices are much higher than what similar retailers charge. I did pick up a few jars of the apricot preservatives. I wanted to get some Kinder Egg Surprises for some kids, but they were $4.99 each. I've never seen them for more than $3. The owner was very short tempered and not at all pleasant in answering the most basic questions about the products in his store. This is a huge turn off. If I was in the area again, I would stay clear of this little store.

The only Eastern-European store in the South Louisiana probably, and it is so bad. I wish it would…read morebe better, and it has so much potential. It was doing okay when Leo was the person managing this store for his parents, who are the owners. Now Leon is gone and his brother is working the store. This place had problems before, but now on top of having very bad business hours, no online marketing, is now having bad customer service, empty shelves where the food is still in boxes next to the shelves. Lots of food is expired, but I have to give kudos to the current manager, because he did warn me about the date and I didn't get the mayo. Thanks for that! Not a lot of items, but since Leon is gone it is even less. They used to have tvorog, pelmeni, even baked goods like Oreshki...it is all gone now. Nothing to go shop for anymore, since most of the items this store carry I can get online for probably same or even less price. Store not working on Sunday and Monday don't really care for doing good in my opinion. I understand about not having money to hire somebody, but that is the business. I wish somebody would buy this business and revamp it. People living on Northshore come there to shop, so the demand for this store is high, but current owners don't care about their business unfortunately.

Afromart 3114 Paris Ave…read moreNew Orleans, La 70119 504-397-1017 Hey now Yelpers, I finally got a free moment to check out AfROMART. I was very excited as to what the store has to offer. I was pleasantly surprised. I was greeted by the owner Juliet(as she allowed me to call her). Juliet served me as a customer while attending to her electrician. I started asking questions, she is from Ghana , she is the real thing y'all. The store is only 3 1/2 months open, and there's a-lot of what's to come says Juliet.There's 4 isles of food choices of African and Ghana foods. If you're a cook there's fresh dried herbs, once explained the herbs usage"ah said , "gimme dat as us naw'lins would say. They're different style meats. Such as the kind we put in our gumbos, or stews, on the shelves. There,s soda called GUINESS" that is to die for. I There are lotions that we use for skin care, ( y'all know ) no matter what race or gender. The prices are equal and in some ways better because you get more. Last but not least the clothing. WOW!!! Juliet just before I came in, a man came in and bought 18 shirts. There's mostly me even done a vest/pants and so on. There's beautiful, dashikis for women/men. I'm sure she will request for children's clothes. Christmas gifts for Dad uhhh-yeah " wha choo talkin bout Willis" AfroMart got you covered. Okay fellow Yelpers, the big months are coming in fast, remember this Kenyan family that went through Katrina with us and loved us enough to stay. Ok y'all, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL , to all my fellow YELPERS, management and staff. Citizens of Nola and Louisiana, especially the brilliant work of all YELPERS. From your fellow Yelper "MO"
